I will be giving a variation of my Identity 2.0 talk at BlogOn Tuesday morning, as well as talking some about sxore, our blog comment service.
great stuff. i watched identity 2.0 and was stunned by the style – and the perfect sense it made. will wait patiently for the "beef":-)
Dick:
Drum Reed gave me the heads up on your recent presentation.
Great job!
I think a lot of the confusion over personal identity is going to lift as Web 2.0 services bring more controls for individuals to use to reclaim ownership over the data they/we create and share.
Identity is data-centric.
Decentralizing the control of data will bring the fresh winds of freedom and liberty to a world that’s been enslaved by the corporate controls of statism, capitalism and mob-rule – er. democracy.
You might want to check out the "Smartocracy" thread embedded within identitycommons.net which is an offshoot of Drum’s work with XRI/XDI.
I liken Web 2.0 to breaking up the dams and allowing the fresh waters of the river to flow freely once again.
Another analogy is the lighthouse. Every individual is a lighthouse that’s called to shine a very unique light to all points on the horizon. Currently the lighthouses of individual indentity are dark. The energy behind this light is being redirected to sparks, candles, fires, torches, flashlights, penlights and lasers of so many corporations that are claiming to own/control pieces and threads of this energy through these contractrual economic exchanges that are not transparent and actually are organized deny the realization of personal identity.
Good luck with your projects. I hope to learn more about sxip’s efforts going forward.
Peace and God Bless,

What up Dick. I was linked to your presentation from another site.
I think you had alot of good things to say. I am the president of a recently incorporated small business in Beerco Software of Quebec.
We make phpmail and sitespaces.net along with a very small staff.
Why should we build identity 2.0 identification into our redistributable php webmail program, and or sitespaces.net our social networking upstart?
Right now we have paypal loosely built into phpmail2, and we are now on the virge of releasing version 3.
We have built everything on paypal, as most all other online sites that accept payment and id validation have. Paypal is owned by ebay and validates your bank details and whereabouts.
They are the premier ID validator of the internet right now. Why identity 2.0
You must know that the other leading internet validation services are much more poised to win out?
Please email me if you feel like answering my abrupt and unruly questions.
Thanks.
Unfortnately, I don’t have your email Beer, so I will respond to your comment here. Paypal is a centralized, Identity 1.0 system. It is unlikely that every person on the web will get a Paypal account. Identity 2.0 is decentralized, putting the user at the center of the identity transaction. In answer to why should you put "Identity 2.0" into your software — there is no good reason today, but I would suggest you follow what is going on, since you likely will at some point in the future.
your presentation kicked ass.
would love to learn more. you seem like you have a big brain.
thanks!
Thanks for the info. I linked to your identity2.0 presentation. Originally from Beyond Bullets . Great presentation. It entertained me, I learned something, and I wanted to seek out more information.
Dick, you have given me great ideas for a paper that I have to write on Net Identity for my Masters in Educational Technology at UBC!
Glad that I could help — I think!
Very cool presentation – caught it tonight at Vancouver Enterprise Forum. Thanks for being there!
Glad that you could make it!
Saw your presentation on the OSCON stream. Good stuff, you’ll probably just need some more reasons than ‘it’ll happen eventually’ to sell it 😉
Agreed — which is why we re building sxore!
Just giving sxore a whirl.
