Schedule Twitter updates with Twuffer and FutureTweets
OpenID is supported, which is a damn good thing: FutureTweets own signup feature crapped out on me three times. My OpenID worked fine, however, and I was good to go (after entering my Twitter info).
The update interface isn't as pretty as Twuffer's, but it does have two stand-out features. One is the option to create recurring updates - useful if you have poor memory and want to not appear like a forgetful jackass on your Mom's birthday.
The other is the wicked analog clock. Drag the hands around to set the time you want your post to appear. Sweet.

There are some practical applications for these services, of course - reminders for your followers, Twitter-based scavenger hunts, not being forced to sleep on the couch because you forgot to Tweet your anniversary love to your significant other.
If you schedule updates, let us know what site you're using!

This'll really creep someone out if I'm killed in a biking accident or something... :)

"But wait just a minute...A Twitter app that doesn't use your Twitter ID for logins?"
I have a strong feeling that this has something to do with additional functionality that will be built into FutureTweets :-)
