Wähle Dein Profilbild… bei myON-ID

Habe mir gerade ein Profil bei myON-ID erstellt, welche einen ähnlichen Service wie idleaf anbieten und ziemlich gut ausschauen. Lustig fand ich allerdings folgende Foto-Auswahl bei der Profilerstellung:

Auswahl von Profilbild

Ich dachte eigentlich immer, dass Bildvorschläge aus einer Menge ‘neutraler’ Fotos wählen  und nicht Gesichter realer Personen vorschlagen. Man könnte sich natürlich jetzt mal die Wahrscheinlichkeit ausrechnen, dass der neue Benutzer genau eines dieser 8 vorgeschlagenen Gesichter hat. ;)

idleaf: identity management

idleaf.com is a nice identity management system. Just created my own identity some days ago. :)

VeriSign’s OpenID SeatBelt Plugin

SeatBelt is a Firefox plug-in that assists you when signing in to OpenID sites with your PIP URL. Typically, if you are not signed into your PIP account when you access a sign in page using OpenID, you need to access your PIP account and sign in. Since you must do this within the same browser window, you have to navigate away from the page you wish to sign in to.

OpenID not ready for real-life applications?

Unfortunately, at the moment, it isn’t good for much, because the OpenID might be pointing at a server that’s evil or silly. It’s good enough for blog comments and that’s about it.

SL age verification

I think that rather than adopting this one-off inspector approach, outfits like Second Life and all the other big web sites should get together to accept registration claims from whatever identity providers would fully guarantee both accuracy and the anonymity of their users.

Whobar

Whobar is a tool that allows users to login to a website using InfoCard, OpenID or i-names and makes it all transparent to the web application. Whobar is written in PHP, but works like a proxy, so the web application can be in any language.

A not really active project i think, but maybe worth a look.

2idi

Just found 2idi – an identity management site. Nice to avoid spam, because you only give your 2idi-name to other people and not your E-Mail-address. And they can contact you using the 2idi-site.

Only problem is, that it costs money. :)
