I’m sure no one will argue with me that the one thing that has heightened Internet privacy concerns the most is the explosion of Social Networking sites, particularly Facebook. Last summer I blogged about privacy and pointed out a blog post by Burton Group’s Ian Glazer on his Facebook Privacy Mirror experiment related [...]

Sorry both John and I have been missing in action for a few weeks. But on the bright side, the lack of blog posts of late means this one is jammed packed full of relevant identity news!
I’ll start by highlighting a blog post on identity verification from our partner Oracle. Brian Mozinski does [...]
If I said it once, I’ve said it a 1000 times, Identity Verification of Adults on Social Networking Sites can be used today and will start to solve problems associated with identity and age related issues on Facebook (and MySpace, Twitter, etc.).
Case in point is the latest impersonation of Former Governor Sarah Palin on Facebook: [...]
Spending the week in sunny San Fran for the annual RSA security conference. A great kick-off to the conference was the Liberty Alliance Workshop that took place yesterday called “Harnessing the Power of Digital Identity.” We’ve been involved in the Information Card Foundation since it was formed and have been a leader in helping to [...]
Interesting article in the Washington Post last week about joining Facebook when you have an unusual name like Batman, Pancake or Six.

What exactly is the Information Card Foundation? You can definitely read [...]
What a month. I’ve been back from DIDW for (almost) three weeks and I still haven’t had a chance to blog about the show (or anything else for that matter).
Overall I thought the show was good. I was very pleased to see that there are a lot of smart people at smart companies [...]
Digital ID World (DIDW) is next week in San Francisco and I’m really anxious to attend since I was unable to get there last year (gasp!). Different from the RSA show which is focused on security (with identity being a subset), this conference is completely centered on everything identity – from Identity Management (IdM) [...]
A few posts back I mentioned our partner Identity Rehab…well they’ve changed their name and are now called ID Watchdog. Check out today’s story in USA Today by Byron Acohido and Jon Swartz which features a scary case of identity theft and just how complicated it can be when your data is compromised and [...]
