Do you have a digital identity yet?

Few things carry more value than your digital identity, and yet most web users have only a tenuous grasp of it. That’s because on the social web, identity is no longer just who you are. It’s who you know, how you know them and how much you want them to know about you. On the web, your identity is explicitly tied to your relationships, both with your friends and with the websites you visit.

With the social media services and ID’s provided by them like Facebook Connect, Google Friend Connect, Open ID and micro blogging platform like Twitter expanding there user base and blending in our day to day activities as a part of our routine just like eating and exercising. It is becoming more and more important to have a digital identity.

All of the above offer a way to take control of your social capital, that cache of "friend data" you carry with you as you sign up for and use different web services. They also all offer a more tangible advantage — an easy way to log in to any website using one set of credentials. You get one virtual ID card that gives you access to hundreds of websites. As a bonus, you don’t have to go through the painful process of filling out a profile and adding or approving friends on every new blog, community or social network you want to join.
