From a clarity perspective, I really like how Stackoverflow.com (or StackExchange in general) implements this. When you go to login, it presents clear icons to choose from, but no form fields. You have to explicitly choose what you are logging in with.

That said, it does not address the security concerns raised by the article. The honeypot problem is a pretty prolific one. Same can be done for any provider that implements it's authentication for 3rd party websites. I'm sure there is some policing going on from FB/Google/etc, but not sure on the effectiveness.
