It comes down to having ownership, control and autonomy over my data, metadata and its management. I am actually going further than just a place to manage and store passwords - perhaps once the identity is self-owned, there will be no need for them. But that's flipping the current understanding of identity, privacy on its head, which is what we have been doing during a stormy and rewarding session this morning with Doc Searls and JP Rangaswami. It has moved my thinking light years forward. Will blog it as soon as I get a chance. Vincent, agreed!

Especially I would like to have ready access (and secure) to all my login names and passwords, for websites where they are used and bank accounts, credit cards, online insurance accounts, Utility accounts, website accounts, etc. I would like to recommend <a href="http://www.baltsoft.com/" rel="nofollow">General Knowledge Base</a> which fills this bill marvelously. It is a free from relational database with secure sharing capabilities using Client/Server technology. You can create categories for Utilities, banking and finance, websites, Insurance, Software registrations, etc. Then add the links for the login pages in each category, add a page holding the login information and other personal account information. You can also insert spread sheets, word documents, PDF files, photographs, and executable files into a topic. All in all, General Knowledge Base is the best resource on the market for managing your personal information, giving you ready access to it, and allowing you to use it without fear of Identity theft.

All creativity comes from "out-there", but it seems hard to put that into an argument. “out-there thinking, getting hands dirty with technology and not worrying about ROI just yet”-

Great summary, I’ve been trying to pinpoint something very similar all day, for a project.

All creativity comes from “out-there”, but it seems hard to put that into an argument.
