Wed, 21 March 2007 In this episode of STODID (click here to listen) I interview Jim Harper, Director of Information Policy Studies at the Cato Institute. My interview with Mr. Harper focuses on various topics presented in his book Identity Crisis: How Identification Is Overused and Misunderstood. During the interview I ask Jim to expand on some of the concepts presented in his book, such as: - How the identification process is as important to human survival as the air we breath - How identification is an indispensable form of social, economic and civic "glue" - Anonymity's critical role in people's ability to craft their identity - The distinction between identification and authorization - The ills resulting from governments promotion of global unique identifiers - The "credentialing" industry, a market perhaps as large and important as financial transactions and communications markets Related Links: - Mr. Harper is the editor of Privacilla.org, a Web-based think tank devoted exclusively to privacy - Mr. Harper's blog at the Cato Institute - He also maintains an online federal spending resource at WashingtonWatch.com - Buy the book at Amazon:

Wed, 7 March 2007 This interview features, Terrell Russell who is a Ph.D. student at SILS at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Terrell's research involves a number of projects that relate to digital identity. For example, Terrell and Fred Stutzman started claimID in response to a perceived need for people to have a voice in what is being said about them online.
This interview features Terrell's work related to Contextual Authority Tagging, which Terrell describes as the use of folksonomy to discover and define cognitive authority through reputation within communities of users. I originally learned of Terrell's work through Eugene Eric Kim's blog, quoted below: "What was he doing that I found so compelling? It was his
Ph.D. research on ContextualAuthorityTagging. The basis of the idea
is simple: The best way to identify an authority on a topic is not to
ask people to self-identify themselves as such, but to ask others to
identify the people they consider to be the authorities. We can
leverage this principle to locate expertise by building tagging
systems where users tag other users with information about their
expertise. (LWT)" Terrell asked me to mention that he will be attending SXSW when this podcast is posted so if anyone interested in his work will also be attending be sure to get in touch with him.Subscribe: Subscribe: iTunes Tag: stodid Send voice comment via Skype:  or call 508-714-0747

Fri, 2 March 2007 In this episode of STODID, I interview Alice Marwick a PhD candidate in the Department of Culture and Communications at NYU and social software consultant. Alice specializes in social networking, collaborative culture and online identity and self-presentation. In this interview, Alice and I talk about the origins of online identity theory, including the work of Sherry Turkle. Alice also stresses the importance of recognizing the fact that most new identity systems are being designed by individuals within entities that have a profit motive and that as a result these systems are prone (without malicious intent) to favor commercial interests over those of individuals.

Wed, 17 January 2007 This episode of STODID features Identity Woman interviewing Bob Blakley (of IBM when this interview was recorded and currently of Burton Group). In this podcast Mr. Blakley defines (among other things): - Identity - Privacy, and; - Reputation The way he defines these things may surprise you in that he brings his sociological background into play when considering their meanings. In addition Bob and Kaliya discuss Bob's "Axioms of Identity", specifically the notion that identity "allocates risk". In other words things that people know about another party involved in a "transaction" affect they way those parties treat each other. My thanks to Identity Woman and Bob Blakley for an excellent and deeply thought provoking interview!

His primary focus is on the benefits of identity and attention systems to both consumers and advertisers.

Included in that stack are companies such as: Low Layer = Data Providers Upper Layer = Data and Reputation Aggregators: & MicroID Other Links: Identity Management Buzz from Sun Microsystems (iTunes) Tag: stodid This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 2.5 License.Comments[0] |

Thu, 2 February 2006 In this episode of STODID, I interview John Clippinger, Senior Fellow at The Berkman Center for Internet and Society at Harvard Law School. In this interview John and I discuss his and Berkman's interest in
digital identity technologies. In particular we talk about the risks
promising new technologies face as they become more visible and
therefore subject regulatory pressures. More broadly John expresses his
desire to "embed" policy in code as a way to shape technology policy
before it confronts special interest and other pressures associated
with "formal" legislative processes.
