Manage your online identity.

When we started claimID, we were newbies to the field of digital identity. We learned that identity - for being a relatively intuitive concept - is anything but simple in the context of digital information. Digitally, your identity is not only the picture you create of yourself, but it is the picture others create of you. What’s more, your identity is also your access key to commerce, social applications, government information.

Andy Oram has written a fantastic article in which he explores the many areas of identity - what they are, how they interact, and why you should care. Written from his experiences at the identity mashup conference (which ClaimID attended), Andy presents an interesting, multiplex view on this increasingly vital conversation about identity. You’ve taken a very important step toward managing your online identity by caring about claimID, I hope you’ll enjoy this article.
