Top of the Google Search

I get these ideas for blog posts.  Sometimes I google the idea to see if people have written about it or thought about it.  Most of the time, the answer is yes.  People have written about it already.  I’m not the first – in fact – there are no new ideas out there – just recycled ones.   I will write though, ideas that inspire me at the time.

I set out to write this post about something else, but with one google search, I realized how lame what I wanted to write about was and then decided to write about this.  It’s always interesting the stories that make it to the top of a Google search.

Knowing this – could you write about something that can get to the top of the Google search?  Teach me.

You’re All Identity Specialists

….or at least you all are becoming identity specialists.

Facebook – at their conference this week – just laid out new features.  One of which is even more connectedness with friends and their likes.  You will be able to know so much more about your friends, and other people know more about you.  We are already all connected, but Facebook will make it easier for people to know you – at least your Facebook identity.

So much is going on with identity.  You can take your Facebook identity to other sites now.  You don’t have to sign up for that site because you can do so with your Facebook identity.  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.
