danah boyd talked briefly about this new initiative at BlogHer yesterday. FUSE is the name of the new initiative that Jeff Weiner from Yahoo outlined at SuperNova.

I had fun at BlogHer I did my first podcast there with Halley (you can see the picture over on Marc's site) It was about 10 min talking about identity in various forms. I wonder when Podtech will put it up?

Yahoo! who hosted the cocktail party and did demo's of Yahoo 360. I got to talk with one of the guys from the company and he raised some issues about identity 2.0 that I had not thought about. The power to enforce the of the EULA (end user license agreement) for a company like Yahoo! is in large part tied to their right to 'terminate' identities when the principles behind them misbehave. It seems key to include them more of the folks working for 'the big guys' in our identity workshop discussions and perhaps particularly policy usability.

Talk about changing identity (if where you work is a part of ones identity) Dana now works for the Yahoo! Berkeley Research and resigned from Google.
