Catching Up -- Identity Mashup

We've been writing and posting about Identity Mashup for the last few weeks. What's it all about?

Berkman's Executive Director, John Palfrey explains on his blog: I think the key aspects of this conference are figuring out how to make this digital identity business 1) real and understandable to non-technical people (use case-driven, etc.) and 2) a genuine improvement over what we have today, or have had in the past (privacy-enhancing? a better online experience? better grease for commercial transactions?).

Examples of this? Check out Louise Guay's "My Virtual Model." And Attendr, a conference mashup.
