Portable Identity

After signing up for 13 social networking sites in the last week, I love this idea of portable identity. It seems like a common sense kind of thing.

    Tanya,

    Thanks for linking to the article. Of course, I completely agree with you that this is common sense. Unfortunately, I don’t see the social networks going in this direction any time soon. There is no real technology-related reason for this. The security issues can be ironed out. What this comes down to is good old-fashioned Greed with a capital G. There’s too much self-interest for them in keeping things walled off and separate.

    You should come on by and leave a comment in the article thread. Another perspective is always welcome.
