claimID weblog is live
February 11th, 2006 - Terrell RussellHello, Internet.
This blog will serve as an outlet for our ideas and concerns about online identity management.
Fred and I have been thinking about the way we each internalize the Internet, its effects on us and those around us. A lot of thought has been given to those who have grown up with this technology and aren’t as impressed by (or scared of) it as we are. We’re concerned about their apparent lack of understanding and care when it comes to the permanence of the online record.
Our individual, personal “Internet presence” is something only a slice of the population has faced. This is a new area and yet, it’s an inevitability we will all face in due time. This inevitability is what motivated claimID. The world will be talking about you, both online and off, and so you might as well have a voice in that discussion.
We decided to build claimID and share our thoughts about how we see it fitting into this discussion of identity management. Eventually, we hope it will even lead to research (being students and all).
And fame and glory.
But those are later.
At least until after we get out of beta.
