I hope to see this settled in an inter-operable way soon, because I want to see the “reputation economy” (like Cory Doctorow’s “Whuffie”) begin to catch hold, so that I can get a general opinion on the credibility, reliability and general legitimacy of a company, person, location etc. And if that’s what Whuffie Beta will look like, then the release version would also allow me to weight the accumulated score for something based on how well the ‘voters’ know their stuff, and whether they have similar values to mine. So if the entity is a Mexican restaurant, for instance, the score I use might give more weight to the opinions of Mexicans, and chefs, and other people who like spicy food, and less to the opinions of people who think highly of the food at McDonalds. OR if the entity is a person, I might give more weight to his/her neighbors, and less to people whom I dislike.

This will obviously work best once there are many, many people expressing their opinions of everything all of the time, in a way that feeds the tabulator mechanism instantly and automatically. Pieces of it are already “out there”, but we need this universal identifier before it can really begin to jell.

Linking your ID to a URL is hard to imagine for most people. Email addresses are also unique, services that could map email addresses to IDs might do the trick.

Not sure what a more appropriate wider forum is. =)

I think you should publish your considerations on a wider forum, though. It’s definitely good food for thought.

Some possible unintended consequences of OpenID: LittleguyWebsite starts an OpenID service, but gets compromised; how does this affect ID consumers who may want to know they now have a wolf in sheep’s clothing? SomeBigCo decides not to accept OpenID’s from LittleguyWebsite for this reason; running your own OpenID server is useless because it will be treated like a photocopied drivers license. Users in need of “identity” start using SomeBigCo for their OpenID’s; SomeBigCo knows about your SomeBigCo accounts, your OtherBigCo accounts, and all your LittleCo accounts, and sits on a goldmine of valuable consumer data its shareholders demand to see monetized. OtherBigCo is unhappy that SomeBigCo knows its users’ account details, so it refuses to accept SomeBigCo’s OpenID’s and insists on just its own. This is the exact situation we’re in now, except a ton of energy and effort has been wasted to get there.

Basically, I don’t believe that Google, Yahoo!, and Microsoft are going to end up accepting any OpenID’s but their own. This isn’t even a problem because **it’s a good thing** that all these companies can’t reliably correlate my identity across services.

Maybe I’ll take it out so as to not confuse…
