I just connected my Blogger account to my Google+ account (Google had been maintaining the polite fiction that they were separate). I also validated my ownership of downes.ca for Google+ (done in pretty much the same way Technorati did it way back when, or even my home grown ID system did). As Ben Werdmuller says, identity is the operating system. So this visualization of your personal data making its way through the network is especially poignant today. "The average user has 736 pieces of this personal data collected every day, and different service providers retain this information for anywhere between 12 and 60 months." Yeah, look at that data go!
