Identity 2.0

February 10th, 2008 · 3 Comments

Identity management is a very important part of supporting our Web 2.0 experience. Thanks to a tweet from Matt I just watched Dick Hardt from Sxip Identity, a Canadian company, talk about Identity 2.0. Just as we describe learning with the learner at the centre, Identity 2.0 puts the user at the centre.

    When I did my intro video for the course, this was my inspiration … of course not NEARLY as well done.

    A teacher forwarded that to me and we kind of had a text discussion tonite as it was going on. I absolutely loved his presentation style. The pace was quick…the presentation included simple images and small chunks of text, which to me made it more memorable.

    And of course I think we can all identify with the 40 different online accounts that we maintain and all of the separate logins. I’m hoping Sxip can help make Identity 2.0 a much needed reality in a web 2.0 world.

    Cheers!

    Right away I was thinking…this is a very Lessig-style, just a bit faster paced. Sure enough, he thanks Lessig at the end.
