In 2005 I gave a talk at O'Reilly's OSCON about user-controlled Digital Identity with sth I called LID. It featured a "this" and a "that" pointer. I don't think too many people understood what I was trying to say.

Last week I came across some recent mock-ups by @goto of the Google Chrome team. Making the browser identity-aware as he's showing there is exactly what I had in mind: this=the URL being visited. that=the identifier of the user visiting.

Merely 19 years.

I think I made the somewhat more general machine-to-machine case rather than the human-to-machine-via browser case. But here we are.

@j12t That's fascinating! Any pointers that I could follow to read more about the talk? Any chance it was recorded?

@goto Unfortunately I think it is lost to history. Not sure I have a copy of the slides either, and if I did, what format they'd be in.
