It&#8217;s the only magazine I read on regular basis (every issue, actually) for which I DON&#8217;T have a subscription. That would deprive me from the pleasure of buying it as soon as I spot it on the shelf, thing that happen with other magazines (I am subscribed to <A class=\"\" href=\"http:\/\/money.cnn.com\/magazines\/business2\/\">Business2.0<\/A>: when I see it on the shelf I can&#8217;t buy it no matter how appealing the cover story is, because I know I&#8217;ll get a copy in the mail). I did this only for another publication in the past, &#8220;I cavalieri dello zodiaco&#8221; (u may know them as <A class=\"\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Saint_Seiya\">Saint Seya<\/A>&nbsp;or <SPAN lang=\"ja\">\u8056\u95d8\u58eb\u661f\u77e2<\/SPAN>), so it&#8217;s truly a big deal for me:-).&nbsp;<BR>I also love neologism, when they capture an important concept that didn&#8217;t have a name yet. &#8220;Crowdhacking&#8221; is one of those.<\/P><br \/>\n<P>Back to the case on point. In the last issue there is a <A class=\"\" href=\"http:\/\/www.wired.com\/wired\/archive\/15.03\/herding_pr.html\">great article<\/A> that explores the value of <STRONG>online reputation<\/STRONG>&#8230; and ways of subverting current mechanisms of attributing it\/using it. I won&#8217;t make here the long dissertation you may expect on how Windows CardSpace and user-centric identification schemes can be of immense help there&#8230; first, because I&#8217;d like you to read the article first (so I don;t have to recreate its context here before saying my thing); second, because when you are writing a book every moment you spend writing something else makes you feel guilty for falling behind schedule \ud83d\ude42 The latter is also the reason for which I&#8217;m not being very prolific lately, but I promise I&#8217;ll try to do something about it in the&nbsp;coming weeks.<\/P><br \/>\n<P>There&#8217;s really a lot to say on the subject! How reputation is the paradigmatic example of a value that must be retrieved from the IP every time (claims, anyone?), how using token based authentication may suddenly make unattractive to the bad guys a number of&nbsp;botlike attacks, how&nbsp;being able to&nbsp;package a reputation statement in a handy token could truly allow promt reuse across many services (user centered federation, anyone?)&#8230;&nbsp;&nbsp;I&#8217;ll make a followup post, but if you have thoughts on the above feel free to comment and start the conversation.
