Perhaps I could search Google and find people with expertise and relatively high reputations. Once social networks and collaboration software are standardized on the reputation standard I could do some contextual and meaningful people-location. This could help me find answers, invite the right people to collaborate and reinforce the right behavior. [...] […] Once you have values for reputation you should be able to search for it.

I have spent more and more time interacting online in recent years than I ever planned to, and have divulged more of myself than I ever thought I would. I enjoy and value my privacy, and stayed far away from blogging for a long time for that reason. Eventually, LinkedIn became a good, legitimate choice for me to display my information online and network with people I knew and worked with. As my career changed and I became an entrepreneur, I sought out other ways to connect with real people online both "as" my business and "as" myself. The word transparency gets thrown around a lot, but I think you're absolutely right--it has become easier to be a real person online, easier to ignore those that are not, and more valuable from a trust perspective. For someone like me, you are your business after all, and I believe that's of great value. Like many others I have fallen in love with Twitter. And while my username is my company's name (and my pic is my logo), profile shows my full real name. What I say and do is available online not only for a future boss to Google, but for future progeny and even descendants to dig up (imagine WWW archive research projects in the year 2100). People are everything, and anonymous or made-up personas are nothing. I love this post (and fantastic graphics, by the way!).

Our discussion about the change in online culture instantly brought to mind PA's Greater Internet Fuckwad Theory. I really do find it amazing to see the great leaps internet culture is making from complete anonymity to openness and credibility building. I and many of my friends have shifted away from random internet alias's and handles to our real names. I'd kill to have michaelsigler.com Glad I could help with the graphics.

For the first time I singled out the theses than rang most true for me. I highlighted; "Even at its worst, our newfound conversation is more interesting than most trade shows, more entertaining than any TV sitcom, and certainly more true-to-life than the corporate web sites we've been seeing." Night after night, I'm finding Twitter much more rewarding than my TV set. So from a technology and thought perspective, it has all been around..but we're all finally starting to get it.

Although this stuff has been around forever, it has never been presented in such a compelling and cogent way! Great visuals really tell the story of our evolution into an online community of well-behaved trusted chaps. Sam, Great post!
