How to erase your online past (100107)
Advice Activity (100105) Pat Parslow
Identity and Identifiers (100102) "I think that I really started giving thought to my online identity when I was in college at George Tech."
Identity in Anonymity (091231) "In continuing my exploration and complete indulgence in World of Warcraft, I've run into another aspect of the game that I find very curious – and that's the notion of digital identity in anonymous spaces. This idea is applicable to other forms of online communication though really, and not just WoW. Hence one of the reasons why I'm raising it here. In a few instances recently I've found myself interacting with other players in-world. In the case of two or my characters I even joined guilds – one of which I opted out of very quickly, the other I still remain in. Largely however I've been observing the sorts of discussions and conversations that go on in the text chat. What's really struck me about all this is the lack of any reference on who these people are. There are no real names, no profiles, no user images or personal statements. In many cases I have no idea what gender people are, and can only infer from their conversation style what age they might be. Their real world identities are completely unknown."
Meet the New OpenID Foundation Board Members (091231) "OpenID, the open standard for federated user identity across multiple websites, is led by the OpenID Foundation. That organization announced the election of its newest Board members today. These are the people who will be moving and shaking OpenID on a policy and standards level. While systems like Facebook Connect and Twitter Auth are making fast progress in offering website users easy access to their primary identity, social and activity data when visiting sites all around the web - OpenID technology is making progress as well. Here are the three new leaders elected to help advance that agenda. The OpenID Foundation has both Community and Corporate members. There is always one more community member than there is corporate members."

Being Online "No matter how candidly we flesh out our digital representations online, they remain skin-deep. They can never reflect how we are known to our families, neighbors, and workmates." (091230)
Ideas Connect Us More Than Relationships "we find ourselves following those we know and those we wish to know. We are forming contextual networks based on shared themes, interests, passions, beliefs, and ideologies and it is transforming how we interact and establish relations and relationships online. We now willfully share ourselves with those online and in return, we’re encouraged by reactions and empowered through every new connection we earn." (091230)
Daring to Live Your Life Offline "At age 52, he's never sent an email, surfed the Web or bought anything online. With no BlackBerry to distract him in the grocery line, he's likely to make a friend or two before checking out. With no Web page to instruct him on his latest project—how to grind sausage or build a cow fence or install a wood-burning stove—he seeks out the help and advice of neighbors who have done it, and during beer-drinking sessions afterward he listens carefully to their talk of health problems, banking habits and new-car purchases."
