Let me try to summarize what I heard because it may be of interest:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Nobody &mdash; to me, at least &mdash; has made the point that I&#8217;m wrong about what I called &quot;the three pillars&quot;. That&#8217;s good, because that&#8217;s why I decided to pen this piece in the first place. Some question whether the term &#8220;pillar&#8221; is right or whether we should rather talk about a continuum. I&#8217;d argue that there are few, if any, products\/projects connecting those three things yet, so I think is discrete metaphor, like &#8220;pillar&#8221; is probably appropriate at this stage. Once large-scale interoperability occurs &mdash; anybody&#8217;s guess when at this time &mdash; I will of course change that term.<\/li>\n<li>Nobody disagreed that there are good reasons for why those pillars exist. Some question whether the light-weight approaches, growing up from things like blogs, are &#8220;true&#8221; identities; I&#8217;d say that what is and isn&#8217;t a &#8220;true&#8221; identity is in the eye of the beholder, and I don&#8217;t think anybody would argue that they can&#8217;t grow, which they do anyway on an almost weekly basis in some places.<\/li>\n<li>Nobody disagreed that identity simply must become interoperable to have value, and that sooner or later, these three &#8220;pillars&#8221; will have to be bridged.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>That&#8217;s all great. But I also got push-back on two of my particular choices of terms:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><i>&quot;user-controlled&quot;:<\/i> it apparently came across to some that way, but I did not mean to imply at all that what <a href=\"http:\/\/identityblog.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Kim<\/a> and Microsoft have been working on does not give a lot of control to the user, because it does. (Note: somebody should list those new levers of control one day, that would be very worthwhile doing.) I just happen to think that the URL-based approaches give <b>more<\/b> control to the user, and that&#8217;s why that pillar is labeled &quot;user-controlled&quot; and the others are not. I guess I will have to expand on that when I get around to it.<\/li>\n<li><i>&quot;Microsoft-controlled&quot;:<\/i> that was easy to predict, as I did, but I probably did not make my case well enough.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Blogging is a funny thing.
