Google Wave and the Internet ID
Google Wave may be the nail in the coffin of what to use as/for your “Internet Identifier” – your JID (aka your GMail ID or email address)
Why? How?
Because now wave does what the folks over at OMB and Identi.ca have been debating over for months – what identifier to use when an OMB post crosses out of the server it’s created on and used/referenced by another.
Various methods have been suggested – most variations on email or JID and others – but now since every ID on an Identi.ca server can have either an email id or a JID and the domain part of that is already unique, the problem has been solved using the 800 lb gorilla implementation rule.
