I-names conference coming out party

This we is a big week for i-names with the first trade show booth ever! The soft launch happened at the Berkman Conference and I got to introduce the count down. We opened up the global registry. DIDW is more of a hard launch. There is a growing number of i-brokers who register names. There are some basic services running and more interesting ones coming. One in particular is EQUALS “‘Super identity’ for communications my way.” being developed by AmSoft.
ooTao created EZiBroker to offer back end i-broker services and is participating in the promotion being offered this week. You can get a global name for a year for $5. They have IWantMyNameNow.com up and running.
In case you didn’t know as part of my freelance open standards for user-centric identity evangelism work on contract with the folks at Cordance and work on behalf the i-names ecology.
