See More Dick
March 21, 2006 | 17 Comments
Dick Hardt recently published a video of his newest presentation titled “Who is the Dick on your site?” This video is from his talk at ETech and was apparently the first time he gave it. Therefore, it lacked a lot of the polish of his previous talk on Identity 2.0.
He talks about a pile of technologies like OpenID and Passport explaining with great graphics how many of these work, and then basically tries to sell us on sxore. I’ve yet to dig deeply an truly try sxore out, but intend on doing so within the week. For now, I setup my account there and have installed the Wordpress plugin. Check back for more on that later.
Update/Warning: If you are running a recent version of bsuite with database driven tags (currently in private alpha release), do not install sxore. Something is incompatible in the installer and will cause all your tags to be deleted.

Identity is Reputation?
February 11, 2006 | 1 Comment
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.
