For those that have not heard, the next Internet Identity Workshop is in three weeks at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, CA. The first day is supposedly for newbies, but last time it set the stage for conversations over the following two days, so I would suggest attending the first day. More info here:

Identity Crisis: How Identification Is Overused and Misunderstood

By Jim Harper

I read this book last summer and finally have remembered to write a post about it. The theory on what is identity at the start of the book is great for those of us in the identity space, and the issues in subsequent chapters are well described. To top it off, Jim is an insightful, articulate, humble guy!

Yahoo’s Identity Silo

Filed under: Events, Media — Dick @ 3:02 pm

Yahoo has joined Google’s silo building by releasing BBAuth, a mechanism for other sites to access services and data within the world of Yahoo.

Unlike Google’s Account Authentication, Yahoo is allowing their service to be used for SSO and registration.

BBAuth is clearly targeted at Web 2.0 site developers, encouraging them to build apps on the Yahoo platform so that they get access to all those Yahoo users.. While I understand how this helps Yahoo strengthen their relationship with their users, it would seem Yahoo did not learn what Microsoft learned with Passport, as Yahoo is deepening their identity silo, rather then participating in the emerging identity infrastructure.
