I have much to say about the subject of digital identity and the consequences of corporate vs. personal vs. community ownership of the legacy we weave across the web. I think it's great, Jeff, that you took the time to be open about how you manage the information of your users, including the ups and downsides of your chosen approach.

One of the fundamental unsolved challenges of the internet thus far has been establishing a true identity layer that is interoperable across web, yet still centrally managed by the user. It's more than just the inconvenience of remembering multiple passwords and the fatigue of "yet another thing to sign up for." It's about knowing the footprint you leave behind and being able to access and manage the trail you wish to blaze forward.
