I definitely will check that out! I think there are a lot of solutions, we just need to get people using them as you point out :) Hey Anil,

No I haven’t. I definitely will check that out! I think there are a lot of solutions, we just need to get people using them as you point out :)

It seems like we don't have to wait forever for the frameworks to be created -- the tools are there, just waiting for more people to get educated about them.

I also think that could be more and more right for brands. Check out adidas on Facebook. For company info, they offer a link to their wikipedia page. We can find each others profiles all over the web now, so you're right we don't need more. Brands have the same options. I think that’s right.

I agree, why fill out another profile? But what about one master profile to feed all others? I also think there are serious privacy/ownership issues at stake, and though I'm not well read on OpenSocial, perhaps they can/will create standards and safeguard this? Here are my tweets pasted, to get the ideas out there. Reverse-chronological: timcourtney: @biznickman And how much of ourselves do we own? How much have I signed away in EULAs already? Does it even matter? Food for thought. 05:55 PM March 29, 2008 timcourtney: @biznickman Exciting, very. But I haven't stopped to think re: the implications. Our personal lives are vulnerable even to a simple hacker. timcourtney: What if I could own my own identity server, like OpenID, & keep all my social data there. *I* would own/ctrl it, and it would feed services. timcourtney: It would make a sweet movie, too. timcourtney: What will come of the future of data privacy and ownership? The more I live my life online and in SaaS-land, the more I ask that question. timcourtney: Living life on the social web is weird. del.icio.us bookmarks fed to Facebook, etc. More strategic links get clicked 'do not share.'

I created a very simple site which domain is my own name (www.JosueSanchez.com). There, I put my main profiles and info. Now, when a new social site asks me for my info, I just type my site's name. I agree with you, Nick.

Type in your OpenID and BAM - it should auto populate all of my profile info. One place, one time entry - that would be a perfect world.
