Gwaker has an anonymous commenting system called Burner. It is offered as an alternative to Facebook, Twitter and Google.

  • What's the difference between Burner and creating a throwaway Google , Facebook, or Twitter account?

  • Is the difference between Gawker's "Burner" and the other providers mainly the Terms of Service?

  • Is there an OpenID site that offers similar protections? (e.g. the Duck Duck Go of OpenID)

It seems like it is probably equivalent to a throwaway account, although with less work involved. Another similar service that creates a disposable openid is at http://openid.anonymity.com/

Other services like myopenid.com allow you to create multiple aliases for a single account. Liquidid.net allows you to create multiple anonymous email aliases.

I guess it all depends what you want to accomplish and how permanent you want to make the identity.

    "we have made the decision to end of life the myOpenID service. myOpenID will be turned off on February 1, 2014." there are other alternatives you could list, though
