Sxip Identity's Founder & CEO, Dick Hardt, and Microsoft's Chief Identity Architect, Kim Cameron, recently gave an in-depth podcast with Josh Porter and Alex Barnett on Internet identity management in the context of the attention economy and social software. Part one discusses the biggest problems that need to be solved with identity on the Web and part two explores attention data issues for e-commerce sites.

Specific topics they discuss include:

• The paradox of identity silos
• The Laws of Identity, the SXIP protocol, and sxore
• Consistent user experience
• Granular and transparent identity data transactions
• How trading attention data might work and under what circumstances would it likely be acceptable to users
• Blog comment and trackback spam are identity problems
• User maintenance requirements of attention and personal identity data
• How would e-commerce sites make use of attention data
• Privacy for the enterprise
• Have we already lost our privacy
