What about facebook? they are as close as it gets to a centralized database. It's opt-in and tons of sites already support the 'facebook id'.


Didn't the lesser known founder of Facebook take leave and get in bed with the Obama White House?


They're getting Google in on this too. I can't imagine that Google will give no push-back against the idea that FacebookConnect becomes a national Internet ID.


Good point. Maybe free market forces will help after all...

Edit: Google probably stands the gain more from this initiative than Facebook if it can cleverly integrate it with Google Me.
