The news today in Missouri reminds me again that identity issues online are really just the same things we’ve always dealt with in person.
A fake-officer convinced a small town for 5 months that he was a federal agent.

We rolled out Verified Pages today.
OpenID is in the air, and providing services across domains will become very important very soon. I think we’re still about six months out from the Big Bang. August. I’m calling it.
