I have to confess I felt a degree of panic when asked to give an address of a website or better still a blog along with my profile. Which is it to be? The website that represents my working life www.bbc.co.uk or at a more granular level one of the blogs? from the area of the bbc I work in http://open.bbc.co.uk/labs or indeed the output of the last innovation project I ran to go public at work http://blogs.bbc.co.uk ? When it gets personal I set up a blog last year to track the research and development of a personal project in the field of collaboration, the digital divide and web tools www.mentoringworldwide.wordpress.com currently in need of a major update, and some major attention and even more personal a fledgling blog which is going to have very occasional writings - probably not a real blog at all (yet) www.lucyhooberman.wordpress.com
What I like about this confusion is the more complex degree to which people can represent themselves more fully to others, try out ideas and work and play together. I wonder if I will ever blog every day, but I welcome the space and the chance to connect.
Working across networks
Peep agg?
Interesting comment re: Explode...
Marc Canter seems to be tryingto address the issue of multiple IDs within multiple networks (Flickr, Bebo, Myspace, etc) through his open-source People Aggregator product, which allows you to use any of your other account logins. I think they are also looking at linking up with OpenID and SXIP, too.
