However, the web doesn't have to be about web 2.0 services which mediate our online transactions. We need to unlock the power of our edge devices to exchange information directly with others - which has the byproduct of being able to withdraw information from publication (although any previously published information which had been retrieved cannot be un-known - save for DRM 'protected' information). In this vein, I’d like to draw your attention to Glynx (www.glynx.com) a p2p platform for social communication that, like identity cards, provides privacy and control over your online identities. However, with Glynx, your personal information stays on your PC and no server has visibility of your personas or relationships. Glynx also suppotrs OpenID and, because it runs out-of-band to the web session, it too is immune to various sorts of exploitation and phishing. Specifically Glynx runs on your PC and provides: • A unique patented peer-to-peer directory for private search, discovery, and relationship building – and the ability to share changing identity information in real-time to selected others without making it available to SPAMmers, service providers or any other third party, including websites. • A PKI-based trust environment enabling Glynx participants to have confidence in the identity of those with whom they interact. • A pluggable identity synchronization engine and application framework which connects online sources of identity information and enables personal information to be organized into personas and shared with selected audiences... Glynx is still in beta and isn't quite ready for prime-time yet. But we're looking for early feedback - on our concepts particularly, if not our implementation. I hope I've sparked your interest and you feel moved to check out our website or the article at http://glynx.com/blog/2008/09/16/the-glynx-approach---part-2-the-online-identity-crisis for more information. Thanks for your time, regards, Greg Rolan CTO Glynx Hi Kaliya,
