I love and hate the idea of having a single ID on the internet, it’s interesting to think about.
I mean you'd be able to make as many as you want just that it would be compatible everywhere.
Yeah federated login would be a very interesting concept and I’m sure we will get there. The constant online profiling and fingerprinting always makes me paranoid. A single login following me to multiple sites is basically a more forward fingerprint. But I’m hoping for a federated internet where tracking will be kept at a minimal because there is less incentive too.
