Doesn't matter which large company "gets" it -- what we really need is a good, decentralized, easy to use, open, optionally-anonymous identity system on the web. Easy-to-use being the key feature.
Until that happens, whether it's FB or Google or whomever else, we're stuck as the "product, not the consumer" (as Arrington correctly puts it).
- dublinben 13y agoHow does Mozilla Persona satisfy your requirements?
- gkoberger 13y agoIt doesn't, however I think Mozilla is the one organization that could pull it off. 1) They've basically killed it 2) It's just a Facebook Connect clone, without your social graph (no incentive for the implementor) 3) Normal people had no clue what "Persona" was; it was confusing (no incentive for the user) 4) Not decentralized enough (they wanted it to be; just never got there.) 5) Not enough integration with the browser (also wanted it; never got there) I realize the final two are contradictions to a certain extent. There were a lot more issues with it; this is just the ones that came to mind.
