The Internet Identity Workshop (IIW8) was held in May 2009 at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, CA. Here’s my brief conference report.
Coaching moment: Like most developments, first comes an idea then a discussion, followed by an implementation and testing. Thankfully most people aren’t involved in these early stages when things may not work well, or may take more patience or tech skills than you have. That said, it’s good to know what’s on the horizon. It helps you be aware of tools that will help you when they become available, and knowing about these tools helps counter some of the spin from companies that want to “help you” protect yourself.
