Dave Winer suggests these two ideas for topic areas to be covered on the Techcrunch 20. I think both of these are excellent ideas to put collective attention towards.
1) Ideally I’d like to have a discussion about a roadmap for the next ten years in Internet entrepreneurship. Which ideas of today will still be around [...]
This is my third Burton Group Catalyst. It is hard to believe it has been two years since I first came to this event and that the first one I went to was before the first IIW in the Fall of 2005. Today when Gerry Gebel in his talk Can Frameworks Bring It All Together [...]

Last year he brought us “the W0RD” Managization. This year Mike Neuenschwander has brought us Captain Control – the latest member of the identity super hero pantheon.
So the ‘big’ press announcement from PingID was the launch of SignOn.com it is a pure play for end-user identity management. All it does is work on the users behalf – it gives them and OpenID and helps them manage info cards. They are going to leverage a lot of their code [...]
I found out about Plaxo 3.0 going live because Joseph Smarr (who works at plaxo) and I are facebook friends and he had a presence message this morning that said he was excited about it going live.
Here is a view the link to on their home page – impressive syncing.
It still makes me [...]
I have been in facebook a while. Jordan Moncharmont who works at Facebook and is a student at Stanford invited me into the network after Ruby on Rails Camp. I just didn’t get it at all. What was the difference between a note, a message a wall message a poke? It just seemed silly [...]
I had a good time overall at supernova. I found two user-agent’s.
Well what is a user-agent? they are programs that work on the users behalf. I found this definition on Dr. K’s Blog:
it would seem that “user-centric” identity is about creating an “agent-in-the-middle” architecture for identity systems. An agent (usually automated) for the user sits [...]
I am a fan of public television. I grew up with the CBC and its wonderful documentaries and comedies (Kids in the Hall anyone). Since moving to the US I have found Frontline and since I don’t have a television I am blessed to be able to watch it online.
They recently had a great [...]
From Slashdot:
“Google is threatening to shut down the German version of its Gmail service if the German Bundestag passes it’s new Internet surveillance law. Peter Fleischer, Google’s German privacy representative says the new law would be a severe blow against privacy and would go against Google’s practice of also offering anonymous e-mail accounts. If the [...]

I talked to LinkedIn founder and Chairman Reid Hoffman on Friday at the Supernova 2007 conference about Facebook’s rapid growth and potential incursion into his territory. He told me that over next 9 months LinkedIn would deliver APIs for developers, ostensibly to make it more of platform like Facebook, and create [...]
Here are the slides for my introduction for the Identity Panel at Supernova. The reason explained OpenID was to level set for the audience what was happening in the market today that was obvious. I also contextualized it within a whole community of collaborative work – so much activity not enough time on [...]
I have been worried about this for a while (see this post from Dec 2006 and way back when in August 2005 when I first was alerted to this issue) Just when things were looking really grim on the online privacy front this ruling came in…..from Wired Blogs:
The ruling by the Sixth U.S. Circuit Court [...]
Besides facilitating at the Online Community Unconference last week I also lead a session about. OpenID and the potential for persistent Identity. I asked the audience what they wanted to know about – 1/2 had heard of OpenID and wanted to explore what it would mean to adopt it. Another 1/2 wanted the [...]
While surfing around the women in tech world I found this statistic on Ubuntu Women.
An EC funded study (2006) summarized in the Flosspols report, indicates that about 1.5% of FLOSS community members were female, compared with 28% in proprietary software. The Ubuntu Census Survey (June 2006) also reflects a similar female ratio with 2.4% women [...]
I just found this from someone linking to my WoW piece. It seems that Linden Lab will be doing age verification – from their blog:
We will shortly begin beta testing an age and identity verification system, which will allow Residents to provide a one-time proof of identity (such as a driver’s license, passport or ID [...]
I got an invitation to SpokeIn touch yesterday. This is “the open network for business people” What I didn’t get was how it was any different then any other ’stay in touch’ thing like Plaxo (which I don’t use). In fact I am not going to use anything in this genre until they are [...]
I was interviewed for the new Wired effort to crowd source articles called Assignment Zero. Appropriately enough the first article is about Crowd Sourcing. This whole new modle of writing is one of the reasons that Bruce Sterling stopped writing for the magazine.
In my Interview “Your Online Identity Defines Your Role in the Crowd: [...]
I am working with Supernova to facilitate their Open Space day on June 19th at Warton West this is going to be great. It is basically free with a price of $25 (this is so that people who say they are coming actually do).
The Supernova Open Space Workshop is an open forum on the social, [...]
Last week there were some interesting identity developments.
summary: Ms. Jessica Davis had her Myspace profile eliminated because it matched a name in a sex offender database. She tried to resolve it with Myspace but they were very unhelpful. She went to the press after learning about a new information sharing agreement between MySpace [...]
I gave myself the name Identity Woman for a very particular reason. At the time I began blogging I had spent an entire year working full time in identity and had basically been the only woman at every one of the many meetings I had attended on the subject. At the time there was [...]
Identity issues in Virtual worlds are interesting. World of Warcraft an online Massive Multiplayer Online Game MMOG recently launched “The Armory”
a vast searchable database of information for World of Warcraft – taken straight from the real servers, updated in real time, and presented in a user-friendly interface. Since the Armory pulls its data from [...]
My blog is a bit difficult to comment on (Sorry, I am working on getting this fixed) so David Kerns e-mailed me his comments on my post Identity Faire? just come to IIW.
I didn’t overlook DIDW & Catalyst, Kaliya, but found them tangential to the topic. And, to be charitable, IIW has taken a turn [...]
