This morning I was pleasantly surprised to learn about this announcement from 6A. I actually had seen David (he mentioned he as hacking his site on twitter so I went and checked it out) working on it this past week but I thought it was a ‘personal hack’ rather then something that would ship. [...]
This past Internet Identity Workshop was great for a bunch of reasons – one was that we had this fabulous group of new people show up – who wanted to learn more and share how their experience could be better.
Currently, it takes initiative on the part of a new person to get up to [...]
I was informed this weekend that my proposal for a peer-to-peer session at RSA was accepted.
User-Centric Identity and the Enterprise: Promise, Pitfalls and REALITY
This session will surface the issues holding back enterprise adoption of user-centric ID (OpenID, information cards, etc.). Is it a lack of perceived value? Is it the perceived immaturity of the technology? [...]
Apparently the markets are going to crash tomorrow.
Washington Post
Financial Times
It should make for an interesting time at O’Reilly’s next conference Money:Tech – Where Web 2.0 meets Wall Street.
I have also been reading this week Fooled By Randomness. I very much enjoyed The Black Swan and would recommend both books.
The Crash [...]
The Identity Commons Wiki has pretty much all been moved over from the old to the new wiki. I did what I think are the last 6 major pages today.
There are a few that could use some attention from the community to improve their content.
EVENTS.
What are the upcoming conferences this spring and summer that cover [...]
So this weekend I just leapt in. I got Twitterific – going.
I am thinking we could almost have an aggregate identity twitter stream like we have for blogs with Planet Identity.
If you want to follow me I am “identitywoman”
If you are in the Identity community – but I don’t know who you are please [...]
I am headed to NYC to facilitate the Online Community Unconference East. While there I thought it would make sense to have a meetup about Identity Commons and all the stuff happening in the community.
Ryan Jenssen reached out to me this week about community developments and contributing. We chatted back and forth [...]
Here is the Press Release. The announcement triples the number of OpenID accounts.
It should do a lot to encourage relying party adoption of OpenID.
It also means mainstream user education has just begun.
It is also interesting to see the narrative in the ‘media’ that get the story wrong
Clint Boulton on Google Watch has this quote “OpenID [...]
Many years ago when I first me the guys doing “user-centric identity” – way back in the day in 2002-2003 – yes there were people talking about thinking about and exploring the implications of interoperable social networks BEFORE Friendster “happened.” I clearly remember a conversation I had with Owen Davis (one of the original [...]
I originally wrote this for Web 2.0 Expo last year April 2007 – It was called Why Identity Matters for Web 2.0. It has not been published in HTML yet. I kept hoping to make it better to refine it more. I will do that but now is the time to put this out [...]
They gave me one complementary ticket to Friday’s event. Who ever pings me first can come for fee.
A friend sent me this article “The Internet Must Die” today. I was a bit shocked by the legislation it highlighted H.R. 1955 the “Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act of 2007″.
it’s coming up for a vote in the Senate early this year. If it passes, which seems likely, a Bush signature [...]
I am speaking on Friday at the Value Networks Community Cluster about Identity. The theme is Presence 2.0: Rise of Living Networks.
I did not make up this Copy describing the even but here it is:
We are in the throes of a major revolution in collaboration, community, business, the environment, economics and civil society. Web [...]
I am a HUGE fan of Frontline. I regularly watch the shows in their entirety online (I don’t own a TV haven’t since 1995 – when I left home).
Their next show is called Growing Up Online. It should be interesting to see how they cover the subject. Just in case you are [...]
NYTimes:
From Connecticut’s attorney general, Richard Blumenthal: “If for nothing else, this set of principles is a landmark and milestone because it involves an acknowledgment of the importance of age and identity authentication and a commitment to explore and develop those means,” he said. “If we can put a man on the moon we can do [...]
From Slashdot:
a story from The Guardian about FBI interest in connectivity between its own database resources and those abroad. It’s spearheading a program labeled ‘Server in the Sky’, meant to coordinate the police forces of the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand to better fight international crime/terrorist groups. The group is [...]
There are two good conferences happening in the Bay Area on January 26th.
Technology in Wartime Conference is being put on by Computer Professional for Social Responsibility at Stanford.
The goal of this non-partisan conference will be to consider the ethical implications of wartime technologies and how these technologies are likely to affect civilization [...]
Sigh…
some people to have so little sense. It is like saying it would be ok to open every piece of mail before they deliver it to your door, photo copy it an put it in a file. We would never allow that – the founding fathers of the US would have never allowed this. [...]
WOW! What an amazing film and depressing. I totally recommend you see it if it comes to your neighborhood or rent it on Netflix (or equivalent).
GM killed the electric CAR. It happened – and they killed it. They said there was not enough consumer ‘demand’ but that is patently false. [...]
