JoeC has the right idea with your 'friends' being stored on your OpenID provider. [...]The longer answer is that with the attribute exchange feature in the soon to be released OpenID 2.0 spec you can specify custom fields for your online persona. For example a ‘friends’ field could be populated with a list of the OpenID accounts for your family, friends, and professional network. This field, if requested from a relying party (Social Network Site X) could then be passed on and automatically populate your network. [...] Well the short answer is Yes!

This would allow you carry your friends' OpenIds with you wherever you go. Then each social networking site can simply import them, and you can control your OpenId "friends" on your ID provider. Sweet!! JoeC. I agree completely. This would allow you carry your friends' OpenIds with you wherever you go.
