   2) Multiply seems to be able to import Orkut and Friendster friends lists if you give Multiply your password (!) for the other two sites. This surely breaks T&Cs for the other sites, doesn’t it? But putting aside T&C and security issues, it’s a shame they can’t recognise friends who are already members of Multiply. Sending out a form email to people who are already members just makes the whole SNAM problem worse.

   I should add that interop between YASNs raises lots of lovely issues about Single Signon and personal identity. And it’s attracting the attention of people trying to create the sort of system that Passport and Liberty promised.

   Of course what we really need is an addon to popular blog software that lets *everyone* run their own Personal Identity Server under *their* control. We don’t need no steenking centralised identity system.
