It would be nice to be able to use an "internet-wide" reputation on sites like Airbnb, instead of recreating it on each site.
If I can easily prove to Airbnb things like, "this is my identity on couchsurfing, that is my identity on ebay, this is my identity on [wherever]". Airbnb could provide the service of verifying those claims and presenting a summary to the seller.
- SkyMarshal 15y agoThey already integrate with Facebook, just not prominently enough imho. And I don't know why Couchsurfing would cooperate since they're pretty much a competitor.
- charlieok 15y agoI guess I'm hoping for standards in this area to hurry up. Then you could do it between any major site and any other major site. Kinda like linking accounts for easier sign-in (one site becomes the identity provider, the other becomes the relying party). But in this case, the purpose is to satisfy another end user of the validity of the claims, not the site a user is signing into.
