The Long View of Identity

An excellent artictle by Andy Oram on identity and social software (Web2.0)

The vision driving this article is a fervent belief among a far-flung set of researchers, software vendors, and system administrators: when people bring parts of their identities online, they can use the internet more effectively. Commerce sites can recognize them, participants in forums can accept what they have to say, and people who share their interests can cluster more tightly with them (link ).

    More and more of these desktop applications are appearing… Another, and fun to use application is http://www.writely.com/. Support Open Document formats including various flavours of OpenOffice.

    I’ve been using Google Calendar and Spreadsheet and am quite a fan of them. Am now looking at other collaborative online tools such as word processors… Working on three different computers is a little insane for file management and version control.
