I ought to have mentioned this a long time ago, but if your interested in the deep puzzle of identity in our Internet era you’ll be greatly rewarded by reading Kim Cameron’s Identity Weblog. It just marvelous. This is a very tough design problem and even f I don’t entirely agree with them all it helps to have very smart diverse minds working on it.
Ben, you do have a run-away quote sign in the href after “greatly rewarded by reading”, this ruins browsing your weblog at enthusiasm.cozy.org/archives/2004/12/kim-cameron/
via for instance firefox 1.0
cheers!
