As we become overloaded with the number of networks competing for our presence, we are having to pare down and decide which one(s) will be where we stay. As for the "central management service", the OpenId idea has merits in this manner. It would be great if more networks were to use this although I don't think it would change the fact that time will limit one's presence on any one network. As with you, I have tried many of them, some I've continued but some have fallen away because of the time factor. Do you not think that this will eventually lead to the popular networks remaining while other fade away? Or, because of our desire for the new and novel, will we always be intrigued to try something new and, if better, begin to spend our time there?

If not, what is it? Is this a software, a web service or a human behavior? Hi Siemens,

Is socialstream the “central identity management service” that you talk about? If not, what is it? Is this a software, a web service or a human behavior?
