In the panel on Social Networking here at Net2.
Identity and profile sharing between sites is critical to using these tools in civil society. Planetwork where I am Network Director has been a long time advocate for open standards in this sector – the Augmented Social Network paper outlined the vision. We are [...]
I am at the Net2 session on Tagging. Here is how I described the value itags to Beth Kanter.
I have been working with Mary Hodder, Drummond Reed and Andy Dale on itags. It is an open adhoc standard we are proposing for alowing people to use their identity while they tag. [...]
I am connecting up to the social change and technology part of my persona today at Net Squared. Tomorrow I am going to be leading a session on identity in the ‘making it happen’ part of the conference.
The opening session mentioned the emergence of the Social Web – I was like wow – [...]
A radical identity solution – publish all SSN eliminate the ’secret’:
It’s time to eliminate the SSN façade. The solution to the problem of identity theft is a “cold turkey†one: publish all SSNs to ensure that no organization has the opportunity to suggest that their secrecy can be maintained. The Social Security Administration should pick [...]
Ohan Pinto picked up on my post about the proposed law by the suburban caucus to ban access to social networking sites in Public Libraries and Schools. (oh and my name is spelled Kaliya – not Kalia) She said this:
I am not against social networking, but I have kids, and I am concerned… especially [...]
For all the folks at the Online Community Camp here is the information about the Reputaiton gang (sorry some how I can’t get onto the closed wiki to share there).
Meng Wong is the lead instigator….
We’re forming a Reputation Working Group under the Identity Commons umbrella.
A wiki and mailing list for the working group have been [...]
I had a good day at the Online Community Camp at Fort Mason. I have posted some thoughts about the day’s process on my unconference blog on process.
I got to speak to a small group during lunch about the user-centric identity space and again to a larger session focused on emerging [...]
My Friend Gregory Heller helped produce this really fun protest at the WinHEC conference where DRM was on the agenda. The sent the DRM Elimination Crew out along with launching Defective by Design.
Good to see good folks out there fighting for freedom.
There is nothing like ego searching to get you back into blogging (I have take over a week off). I just found this post that points to my page on Canadian Identity Crisis because of the Bruce Mau Essay that I have up on a page at Identity Woman. It also points to the [...]
WOW this is really intense.
The freedom to meet and organize is FUNDAMENTAL to what it means to be a citizen in this country.
This was in slashdot headlines and is quite shocking.
MySpace and other social-networking sites like LiveJournal.com and Facebook are the potential targets for a proposed federal law that would effectively require most schools [...]
I just read this article about Microsoft sales strategy. It is SO disturbing. Kim is great but the rest of them? Why should we think about even considering trusting them? It still baffles me.
Dale Olds impressed a lot of folks at IIW leading the session to map out all the different open source identity related code that currently exists and that would be good to have.
DIDW reported today that Novelle launched Bandit.
Bandit is a system of loosely-coupled components to provide consistent identity services.
It implements open standard protocols and [...]
This came up on the identity list:
Bottlenose dolphins appear to whistle their “names” to each other, according to a new study. Researchers say that this type of referential communication is extremely rare in nature, and until now had not been clearly shown in a non-human animal.
I thought this would be a light entertaining identity interlude. enjoy.
I am working on my BayCHI talk this morning and…the things people get famous for. Apparently Scott Ginsberg ‘who always wheres a nametag’ got on CNN. He even has a ‘professional speaking video’ on YouTube. Why are you wearing a name tag – its [...]
I am talking tomorrow at BayCHI along with giving the folks a taste of unconference process.
First I will do picture filled “tour” of unconfernce processes and patterns for about 1/2 an hour and then answering some questions.
The irony of being asked to speak about designing unconferences is not lost on me [...]
The Hyperreality That Never Happened: Expanding Digital Discourse
By:
Dr Marcus Breen
To add a paper, Login.
Development theories that examine the emergence of IT have been produced in the (over)developed world where technology and economic and social growth are assumed to be inextricably linked. Drawing on existing discussions of globalization and the political economy of new media, critical [...]
Last week I picked up on what Tara was saying on behalf of Europeans she had spoken with about the issues surrounding biometrics embedded into passports.
Canadians are also impacted by this policy laundering and have not been consulted. It seems like a global human rights issue. Can we refuse to have our biometrics [...]
I mentioned this earlier in my reflections about the conference. I had seeded a map that outlined the history of our community, gatherings, protocols, blogs, papers, podcasts, wikis, mailinglists. One of the participants took a very high resolution picture of the finished map. Phil has a picture of the initial map. On my [...]

If you are in Seattle and want to talk / meet up let me know.

Scott Schecter is on the hunt:
It’s a bit of a hack in its current format, and what a surprise MSN doesn’t play nice, but instructions can be found here on how to use Google Talk as a universal IM client*. It basically exposes Jabber transports for the other protocols for functionality. Cool, but I think [...]
Facilitating the Internet Identity Workshop was a wonderful experience. I got to bring help the order emerge out of the chaos by leading Open Space. Many felt that it was
About two weeks ago I started making a map of the history of the community. This was in part because I knew a lot [...]
From Tara over at Horse Pig Cow she highlights this issue she learned about while in Europe by a fellow blogger.
Here in Europe we’re currently forced to get passports with biometrical data because the US wants us to do so. There are a lot of discussions about this and not everyone is happy with it. [...]
I was reviewing the blogosphere for peoples thoughts on the workshop. Anne 2.0 read through some of Christine.net’s post on the workshop. But this followed and made me smile…
Web 2.0 is itself Buddhist in its approach to categorizing information and knowledge. Tags are the ultimate in tentative, nonfrozen categories. If categories are fundamentalist, tags [...]
So one of the funniest and serious things to appear on the web this week was the AP Dinner where they ‘roast’ the president. This year Colbert was the roaster. The mainstream press basically ignored the roast but…it took off in the blogosphere. Now the video has been disappeared from youtube. [...]
