» Identity in the Browser
Aza Raskin has a nifty post up about his ideas regarding identity as a feature of the browser, rather than distributed across multiple accounts on multiple sites.
Your identity is too important to be owned by any one company.
Your friends are too important to be owned by any one company.
The browser is your personal and trusted agent to the web. It’s the only actor on the Internet stage which both knows everything you do on the web, and never has to let that data leave the privacy of your desktop. Your browser knows you (or, at least, should).
I seriously recommend clicking on through and checking out some of the mockups.
