The guys at Bryght (they are really bright) are organizing an Open CMS Summit in February. It is a great idea. (They have on their list of things to talk about ‘identity and authentication – in fact it is on the top of their list. RIGHT ON)
I would like to ad and expand [...]

There is some intense stuff happening over in telecommunications regulation land that has significant implications for the interent. Susan Crawford has been blogging on this extensively. (She is now a member of ICANN’s board so).
Bruce Kushnick, of Tele-the-truth, (said with at Brooklyn, Italian accent),
has come up with some new Vocab to describe what [...]
This is great. Click on it and hit refresh and it reloads new squares. It is basically a bit more elegant UI for the Buzzphraser.
Some on the list suggest Identity 2.0. I think maybe YADIS would be great.
I haven’t done this in a while but i am going to start “Vocab Watching” again. Highlighting the crazy new words that get made to describe stuff in this ever changing world.

Esther gave a great talk about the Accountable Net at Accelerating Change that is now up on IT Conversations. It is worth a listen as we look at identifiers for people on the net. I blogged it here.
This is the summary offered on IT Conversations:
There also needs to be a balance between the [...]

A few months ago I put in my name to be an alpha tester of Measure Map. I got the invitation this morning and used my nerdiest skills to install it ( I had to use my FTP client to download the files, add in code and then upload them back on to my webhost). [...]
We had a great lunch with Mary yesterday where we discussed this article and her comments about reputation portability. Ironically enough Mary’s comments excerpted and therefore were not complete. She articulated more deeply in our discussion how the the meaning of an eBay reputation has meaning within that community. When you extract [...]
Jeff Jarvis had this to say about trust during the Union Square Ventures session.
And so the content isn’t what’s valuable. It’s the trust and relationship that’s valuable, and that to me, in a post scarcity — what the internet does is it takes away scarcity in terms of both content and distribution, and it changes [...]
So on this snark blog – Go Flock Yourself that my buddy Jon Garfunkel sent along has this interesting post asserting that Web 2.0 retards need to read more Tufte. in reference to this picture with notes on flickr. The good news is that Tufte is coming to San Jose and San Francisco this [...]

Those who want to have data from web-based applications (i.e. transaction processing, membership management) as well as basic forms (i.e. registration, surveys, etc.) integrate automatically with the back-end databases. Â
Those creating an ecologies [...]
Phil Windley inquired to learn more about the XRI/XDI workshop on December 5th and this is what Andy Dale replied…
It is my intention that the afternoon provide potential implementers or implementation decision makers a very concrete idea of what they can do with i-names (XRI/XDI).
I want to let them know what they can do [...]
There has been a lot of opinions about opinity in the blogosphere in the last week.
From Mashable:
Quoting Bill Washburn @ Opinity -
The way we think about it at Opinity, individuals would also be completely welcome to put together multiple reputation profiles of themselves for different contexts, say one for ecommerce, one for professional purposes, one [...]
Two days ago I flew from Boston to JFK (my taxi was 30 min late and I was blessed to have the best host ever – Jon Garfunkel who drove me to the airport) to make a morning presentation on Corporate Social
I headed to a presentation facilitated by Joe Sabilia my friend from the [...]
I had a great day on Tuesday at the Corante Symposium***
We opened with this quote and I think it is basically true
Managers would rather live with a problem they can’t solve than with a solution the don’t fully undersand or control.

Kaliya talked about a new data web that links to [...]
I have been working hard to spread the word about the workshop Andy is leading on December 5th about i-names. One of the folks I passed it along to is Paul Hogan of Exponent Partners who do strategic and tactical consulting, and helps design solutions, selecting and implementing the right technology in the [...]
Today in Bryant Park I logged into Audium (my platform neutral IM Application) and these little AOL IM Bots had installed themselves on my machine. It was really really really annoying – they could have asked me nicely if I wanted some bots and what they did. Instead they just pushed them onto my [...]

In about an hour I will be up on stage at the Symposium on Social Architecture talking about the future of business and social software. In a way I am a perfect example of how these new tools have shaped a work life. I have had limited experience working in offices – those [...]
I met Aldo for the first time last night at the Planetwork event (he is in the back row next to me in the picture). Today we met up again and talked ‘identity’ over sushi and ice cream. We talked about how we got into this whole identity thing and talked about different [...]
I took this picture at Karin Miller’s house. It is the eleventh minute of the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month. This was when world war one ended. Remembrance Day.
This day shaped my identity as a Canadian. We had a remembrance day service every year at school in which we [...]
We had a great week for Planetwork this week. We had an amazing event in DC with 35 really diverse folks (link to photo)on a Friday Night at Busboys and Poets. Our line up was fantastic with CITI seeking good folks to work for them, and several projects serving the third [...]
The lawyers have learnt their lesson now…When the next disruptive communications technology – the next worldwide web – is thought up, the lawyers and the logic of control will be much more evident. That is not a happy thought.
From Slashdot. More from the article it refers to

I spent all day today and will spend all day tomorrow at the Green Festival Collaboration Hub. It has been great fun talking to folks about the work that Planetwork is doing – expanding to 10 cities.
We have a whole group of folks working on the Virtual Civil Society. If you are in [...]
I am not a fan of the MPAA, RIAA or any other big industry conglomeration trying to hold on to their existing business model of selling creative works (before you view/listen to them).
I have like many many folks participated in this system. I have bought first albums then cassettes and then CD’s (and now people [...]
I had a good chat with Owen Davis yesterday and we talked about what is going on with Identity Commons . The site has gone quiet while it re-organizes. This will include some existing board members resigning and adding some new ones. A new executive director will be selected too. This is great [...]
I just redid my blog side bar and added a link to Opinity. I have been networking on their behalf for several months now. I am happy to share that they have also been engaging in market conversation. With the Online Traders Web Alliance about how their service – to aggregate reputation across services [...]
Web Users Increasingly Wary. This article articulates the challenge we face.
THE PROSPECT OF IDENTITY THEFT has led the majority of online users–53 percent–to stop giving out personal information online, according to a study released Wednesday by Consumer Reports WebWatch. Additionally, 30 percent of consumers report reducing their overall use of the Web, while 25 percent [...]
This was on Slashdot today and highlighted again the main problem the identifier SSN and the password to access accounts and other critical information in our lives is THE SAME. This is a structural problem created by our ubiquitous use of SSN. This needs to be addressed by government, employers and the commercial sector. [...]
Commerce.Net is doing a great job of community participation. Next week on the 10th they will be hosting a wrap up of the Identity Workshop and tomorrow it will be Tag Camp.
Ross does an amazing amount of good surfing (where does he find the time?) This one was interesting in his blog role today.

Three critical life stages in Western culture that affect a lot of our social technologies: The first is identity formation; the second is contributive participation in [...]
Dana Boyde posted this about events unfolding surrounding the death of Christine Dao a Junior at Berkeley this week.
There is no good way to mourn the loss of someone young, but what fascinates me about these messages on Christine’s Profiles is that they are all written to her but visible for everyone to see. A [...]
One of the cool apps that was shared for the first time at Tagcamp was Riya. It does face recognition in your photos an saves you the trouble of tagging them. They do import and export of metadata on photos.
I am a bit worried about the privacy implications.
Marco Barulli thinks the face recongnition [...]
