The personal profile space is already populated with guys thinking along the same lines as. So it's already happening. When the likes of Sun Microsystems and Microsoft are looking into similar services (Microsoft have had something like this for years with their Passport service), there's no escaping the momentum they create. This is a topic I recently included in a 4-part study of Social Networks, which helped uncover some serious shortcomings, as well as some glimpses into a very interesting future. As for the security implications, I can't remember the name of the guys right now, but the issue of multiple usernames & passwords is already in hand, too. The system works by issuing 'disposable' profiles, which work only once. All by negating the problems with single username & password sign-ins. The reason that someone like OpenID will emerge and provide a unified profile manager is because people want it. And like any other industry, needs-based services that fill a void win every day of the week and twice on Sundays... Hi guys!

I tend to use different passwords, locations, and sometimes the way I spell my name, in order to avoid someone being able to access all of my profiles if they got the master password. I do agree that there are other sites that could greatly benefit from implementing a "Streamy Like" idea to their existing structure. Streamy feels like a small town on the internet. @James: I seemed to have gotten disconnected so I went out to eat :) No problem, I will surely catch you around Streamy soon. :D @Wayne: I am going to have to agree with James.

No site would want to be involved with something like that because of security issues. What happens when someone gets the master password? Then they have to deal with people contacting them about how their accounts have been compromised. The idea of one identification is pointless in my opinion because very few sites will support it, and the threat of someone stealing your information is more risky. If you have ever heard the saying: "Never but all your eggs in one basket." Well that applies here. OpenID is a great idea, but it will never reach the level of expectation you give it. Your comment has inspired me for an article though. So thanks for that :) @Wayne Smallman

Sort of reminds me of what can be done with Yahoo! Pipes, but with a shared social angle. Problem is, Streamy is just one more reason why we really need some portable, open personal profile manager, much like OpenID, but with the smarts to help us manage our Social Networks. Something that the likes of Streamy, Digg, Pownce, Twitter, StumbleUpon et cetera support... There’s no doubt that Steamy is a damn fine idea. Sort of reminds me of what can be done with Yahoo!

Not sure tho since I am still waiting for an invite. So if Anyone has an extra send one my way thanks. :) I never thought Streamy was ever going to kill digg, I always thought Streamy was a friends sharing RSS feed thing.
