Chris Poole is so right about identity
Jon Mitchell at ReadWriteWeb reports on a ten-minute talk Chris Poole (founder of 4chan and Canvas) gave at Web 2.0. Chris argues that Facebook and Google are getting identity wrong. “Identity is prismatic.”
Being confined to a single identity on the Web is like a wiki accepting only a single final draft, only far more tragic.







“Identity is prismatic” is true, but he could also have said (more clearly) that “identity is social”.
