I recently received an alpha test invitation from chi.mp to try out their new service: “The dashboard for your digital life,” which offers “The simple way to manage your online life, on a domain of your very own.” 

So, I established my own domain, “markdixon.mp,” populated my profile with links to the social networking sites I frequent (Facebook, Twitter, etc.), my blogs and websites, and the instant messaging services I use.  This site allows me to provide some measure of integration among the different facets of my Internet presence, and gives me quite a bit of flexibility in exposing which details of my Identity I believe to be appropriate.

By coincidence, I met Tony Haile, the chi.mp Chief Strategy Officer, at Digital ID World earlier this week.  He has interesting perspectives to share in the DIDW session, “How Social Web will change Identity Management.”  It appears that Tony and the DIDW crew are making an important contribution to this change by offering steps forward in Identity integration and personal control.

Please take a look at my chi.mp profile and let me know what you think.  I’ll keep you updated as this experiment proceeds.
