Erik:

While enjoying DrupalCon I attended the OpenID, Drupal, and the Open Web presentation by James Walker. It was a nice presentation that briefly went over the technologies that are moving us closer to a distributed social network. While I think it is still a while off before we are able to seemlessly move from site to site with one identity, with full control over our content, sharing with those we choose, and effortlessly enjoying the shares of our friends and family, I think we can help to lay the foundation for the distributed social web.
