Digital Identity Mapping in a web2 world
October 24th, 2006 by philip.wilkinson

I’m come across a fantastic post by a French chap named Fred Cavazza this evening. He has done a superb concise diagram showing how our digital identity is evolving with the many web2 services and applications online these days:

What I like is the way he has segmented the different psychological aspects to identity in terms of who I know, where I work, and who can certify my identity, what I like, I’m passionate about, buy, and say, what is being said about me, how you can join me.

Looking at the list – I say what products I like via Crowdstorm, I write a blog on Wordpress, I can be contacted via IM / email / phone / hcard, I publish and share photos on Flickr, videos on YouTube, and bookmarks on del.icio.us. I manage my contacts via LinkedIn, sell things on eBay, buy via Amazon and Paypal, and have a Myspace and World of Warcraft character!

So – come on guys. Let’s see how you all fit into this map – what activities and sites do you use and do which represents you as an individual?

You can see Fred’s original post in both French and English (kind of) versions.

If you like this post, please digg it:

    Just had this from Fergal Butler, one of the UK’s experts on Identity Management:

    “I think the diagram is slightly incorrect. In the certificates section where
    it says “Who can certify my identity?” it should say “How can my identity be
    certified?” as the technologies specified are actaully methods of certifying
    identity which can be employed by Identity providers. It is actually the end
    Identity providers who can certify the identity using the technologies
    listed.

    Also I don’t see any mention of the Liberty Alliance stuff. Recently they’ve
    released the specifications for ID-WSF which is their web services
    framework. In particular thie release provides a “people service”. See the
    FAQ on this at:

    http://www.project-liberty.org/liberty/resource_center/faq/people_service__1

    The full ID-WSF 2.0 press release can be found at:

    [...] Also interesting to note how shopping related services are being used as part of a Digital Identity. Social Shopping services like Crowdstorm (where I first saw this image) have a focus on personal profiles are allowing people to share what they like in a more interesting way than how it was being done a few years ago at epinions. blog tags:crowstorm digital identity technorati:crowstorm, digital identity [...]
