Identity

Ok. Here’s some off the wall insight into how my mind works, or doesn’t work, depending on your point of view.

The Liberty Alliance’s recent announcement of companies that passed Full-Matrix SAML 2.0 Interoperability Testing spoke of building a build a “more trusted Internet for consumers, governments and businesses worldwide.”

Ashish Jain reported in his blog today that “trust is the business word for love.”

My niece, Katie Larsen, posted a music video on her blog that suggested “cello tape” (or “scotch tape” to us on the US side of the pond) as a metaphor for love.

Does that mean that identity federation is the cello tape that ties the business world together?

Perhaps Eve Maler could write a song about this to be performed at the next Identity gathering. Eve?
