I’m linked, therefore I am
: Marc Canter gives us a very good and simple chart outlining the possibilities and for online digital identity. Your ID stands at the center of:
1. My communication: email, IM, phone…
2. Shared community spaces: forums, groups…
3. My people: friends, family, colleagues…
4. My workspaces: projects…
5. My personal expression: weblogs, photos, vlogs…
6. My media: music, video, photos…
7. Apps and services: tools, catalogues…
8. My events: calendar, alerts, meetings…
9. My hardware: machines, networks, locations…
There has been a great deal of very smart chatter of about identity (led by Doc) but if, like me, you come late to this party, it’s hard to pick up a cocktail and a weenie and join in the conversation. Thus, Marc’s chart is terribly helpful to lay out the land. And here’s his visual wishlist for an application built around this identity.
It’s all about using our world’s new omnipresent network (omnetwork?) to get us what we want and who we want whenever and wherever we want.
