Slashdot today had a post drawing input about VRM needs in the social networking space.
Of course, they didn’t say VRM, but the issues of silos and pan-Internet identities is directly inline with VRM goals:
mrspin offers the opinion of ZDNet blogger Steve O’Hear that users may soon tire of social networks — if they don’t open up and embrace standards allowing greater interoperability among the different networks. O’Hear writes: “Unless the time required to sign-in, post to, and maintain profiles across each network is reduced, it will be impossible for most users to participate in multiple sites for very long.”
Interesting to see Slashdot feed on this item. Lots of good additional discussion about various efforts and user experiences in this space. Worth reading if you care about opening up silos and seamless Identity.
Tip of the Hat to Steve O’Hear for triggering the Slashdot conversation.
