Facebook – at their conference this week – just laid out new features. One of which is even more connectedness with friends and their likes.

It is the same with Open Id, your Google identity, or your Twitter name. Your identity is transferable – because let’s face it – you’re transferable.
Of course, the technologists have been talking about this for years.
