Identity is Reputation?
February 11, 2006
Casey has been talking a lot about how identity is made up of reputation. We’ve had a lot of discussion about this and I’m still not entirely sure I buy into it in it’s entirely. We first started discussing this in these terms after watching Dick Hardt’s Identity 2.0 presentation.
Hardt posted this yesterday in Identity=Reputation:
I take a broad view of what I mean by reputation. It is what any third party says about me. I see this as identity, since this is how that third party is identifying me. It may also be useful to other parties, if they trust that third party. If it is useful to other people, then it is valuable for me to be able to move that identity data around.
I don’t have anything direct to quote from Casey (yet) but this is starting to feel right to me.
