Comment on New ‘OpenID Connect’ Proposal Could Solve Many of the Social Web’s Woes

Comments

Identity and data access are a key part of simplifying UI on the web but also on the desktop. I should be able to log and access my data on my netbook, desktop computer, and the web through the same identity.

This would also favor open APIs to manage/move the actual data more easily as they would seam so natural then. This would be a shield against people wanting to control our identity on the web (Facebook) and people wanting to disempower us of our data (Google's Chromium OS).
