Marshall Kirkpatrick wrote an interesting analysis piece on identity. I just wanted a place to stick my comment for my own purposes. Ya, this Posterous is on Posterous’ server, but I least I can pull it up for refrence. ;)

“Really, Marshall? REALLY? Distributed data, (FB Connect), and (OAuth) APIs are the best things to happen to the web. (Because we are connected to so many people we know in person on Facebook, Facebook connect) encouraged and pushed along transparency; just look at the cultural shift. There are far less trolls, more respectful exchanges, and most significantly adoption at a mass level.

Owning our own data / identities are up to us, the users. We choose what to and what not to share across respective services. If content is the main issue, register your own domain, store the data on your own servers. For other or smaller companies i.e. start-ups, that’s what APIs are for.

Mass adoption FTW.”

What’s wrong with that? Juuuuuuuuust kidding…or maybe not. ;)

Clicking this will take you to the Consumer Report page that briefly goes over overall cell coverage.

Dave Winer was kind enough to give a glimpse of what subscribers can see. An excerpt:

“In these cities AT&T did come in last: Atlanta, Charlotte, Chicago, Cleveland, Columbus, Denver, Houston, Jacksonville, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Miami, Minneapolis, New York, Philadelphia, Phoenix, San Diego, San Francisco, Seattle, Washington DC.

So, bottom-line, if you live in the US and you think the service on your iPhone sucks, it isn’t your imagination. “

To read the entire post, go aaaahere. Thanks, Dave for sharing :)

WHY would anyone in their right mind want their alcohol served in pill form? That’s like, encouraging people to pop alcohol pills during work or schoo… OOOOH. I get it now. Nevermind.

She is also author of one of my favorite books, “Garlic and Sapphires”, former NYTimes food critic, and editor of Gourmet Magazine (RIP). Her Tweets are the most eloquent 140 characters in the Twitterverse.

Clearly, I am a fan. Huge.
