Ben Werdmuller writes, "I believe that web intents are the last missing piece for decentralized social networking. (Previously I’ve talked about creating a social web architecture using Activity Streams and OAuth; this builds on that idea.)" The idea is that "f I have web intents, my browser “logs me in” to your website via OpenID, silently passing the URL of my identity site[2]. I never have to manually log in with a URL, which has been the main criticism of OpenID. (If I prefer, I can have my browser log in via Facebook, Twitter, Microsoft Live ID, etc etc.)" This is a lot like my old mIDm and would really go a long way toward online identity. At last.
