I am returning to one of my topics of interest … Digital Identity.

Digital Identity is a subject of much discussion these days. It seems like
every company on the Internet is interested in digital identity, your identity,
collecting your identity, profiling your identity, or protecting your identity.
What is “Digital Identity”?

History
FreeID.Org was created by Scott C. Lemon to fully explore a new model of “digital identity”. Scott was the
original researcher and architect of Novell’s digitalMe initiative working for Mike Sheridan.
During his research he found a tight coupling between identity and community,
communications and collaboration. Soon after the announcement of digitalMe,
Novell executives chose to alter the path of the project and Scott took his
research outside. During the ensuing year he evolved his framework for
digital identity into whole new dimensions, and FreeID was born.

FreeID … identity can not be held by any one entity!
With
a small group of developers, FreeID has been taking
form. We actually slacked of for quite a while, but I
have a new interest in Digital Identity as I have found numerous
companies that are beginning to see the light. FreeID is a
directory-based solution to gather your entire lifetime of identity
information, and to distribute this information in an automated fashion
… including keeping this information up to date with the various
organizations that a person is related to.

The coming FreeID application is one which works around a set of distinctions
of digital identity that form a framework of individual interaction, and
interactions with organizations and communities. This application will be
released for free to anyone that would like to experiment with digital identity
in a whole new model … so stay tuned and check back!
