Google has been rumored to be ending support as a provider Soon. Seems
they really want to be another Apple-like silo :( (albeit one that
actually acknowledges that something other than their precious silo
might exist).

Many of the "social networks" provide OpenID (e.g., Google, Facebook,
Yahoo!, and more; StackOverflow has an example list[1] on their signup
page).

The OpenID site has a list[2] as well.

If you can host something, there are also multiple ways; at least
Janrain[3] and Fedora's provider is FOSS[4] as well (though I've
deployed neither, so I have no information on which would be easier to
setup).
