I don't pooh-pooh its /importance/, I just think it's a door left wide open to terrifying abuses of privacy, both accidental and malicious. “Anyone who is pooh-pooh the importance of a single, unified, unique key for all individual information across the internet just plain isn’t thinking.”

Anyone who is pooh-pooh the importance of a single, unified, unique key for all individual information across the internet just plain isn't thinking.

The library is built, it works, and it makes a company's user information significantly more valuable by easy mergers and acquisitions. Ask yahoo how much it cost in development work, database manipulation and customer good will to switch from flickr to yahoo ids? millions certainly, probably tens of millions. look at the marketplace for single sign on technologies in the enterprise marketspace.
