Amazing example of how we (the software industry) make sh*tty software (in this case car rental web apps) and how we have no digital identity. Dick (and the rest of the sxip folks), Boris, Phil, Doc and Identity Woman are on the case at the Internet Identity Workshop 2006 though so at least the digital identity problem will be solved (eventually).

Again, if people want to take ownership of their metadata, that will be a good thing for anybody who migrates along with users to a new paradigm. That new paradigm: streaming gestures of intention to the cloud(s) rather than waiting like needles to be picked out of the search haystack. No reason why Google or Publishers should fear this unless they refuse to engage directly with their customers.
