As of this week’s Internet Identity Workshop, I’m now rather convinced that an “identity selector” is the wrong product and the wrong feature set, regardless of the exact details of a particular vendor’s implementation. Several discussions in several contexts, including how to best make a browser identity-aware, all point to the same conclusion, regardless if the context is a card context or an identifier / OpenID context. Something had always been bothering me about the identity selector concept over all these years since I saw the first CardSpace demo, and now I know what it is. - Jared Hanson
