Liz Lawley talked me into watching Dick Hardt’s keynote from OSCON 2005. (Don’t know how I missed clicking through from BoingBoing’s rave.)
Hardt flashes through “Identity 2.0” with humor and clarity. Your online Identity 1.0, he says, was site-centric, walled-garden stuff –like, for example, your eBay reputation. Identity 2.0 (presumably like what his company sxip offers) will be portable, lightweight, and user-centric id. My only objection: Hardt equates reputation with identity. It’s a shame to confound them, because progress in (multiple) reputation systems shouldn’t have to wait for consensus on managing that underwater-part-of-the-iceberg identity. I’m curious to see if Hardt’s identity-and-reputation product sxore will gain enough currency to get a genuine workout. |
