ClaimID

A friend just sent me this great email:

“I had the same idea you've had regarding VaultCo. I was researching it a few weeks ago and came across this site called ClaimID.”

ClaimID seems to have made some good first steps. It stores and manages login names and passwords to a number of sites. These are important aspects of one’s online identity, but there is much more to it. When I was dreaming up VaultCo. I was thinking about a site that would mirror and store, for instance, one’s Amazon recommendations and “Want List” and then have the capacity to hand down parts, or all of, this information to a third site depending on the permission level that the user wishes to provide this third site. Basically, it would be a site that would allow you to carry all your information with you – settings, preferences, want lists, recommendations, ratings, reviews, etc – and then let you use it when you come across a new website or when you want to grant a website you already use additional permission to your information.

If this already exists, please let me know.
