Where does he get that wonderful identity data?
Finally getting around to participating in the latest stream of blog postings following up the "meta-directory is dead" and "daddy, does Active Directory grow on trees?" discussions... Nishant has already addressed some of these comments in his post from July...
Ian Yip Just Saved You 3 Hours - Metadirectories are dead?
You can read the 18+ blog postings covering all of the recent discussions about how dead or not-dead meta-directories really are. Or, you can read Ian's post that summarizes this whole discussion and save those three hours to line-wait for...
Directories vs. Virtual Directories? Really?
Still picking my jaw up off the floor from this comment from Alex @ the ApacheDS project on Jeff Bohren's blog. Seems Dave Kearns noticed it as well. :-) So for those of you worried that Jeff and I might...
Re: Meta-Directories Not Dead (They're Aging)
Some of the points that Matt Flynn raises in this post were addressed in Nishant's reply. However, I wanted to spend a little time on this part of his post: ... There has been a ground swell of apps that...

I'm Sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that...

JavaOne/Enterprise Social Networking
At about the same time I put together yesterday's blog posting about many of the existing personal social networks, Thomas Kurian, the Oracle SVP responsible for Fusion Middleware (among other things) was giving a presentation at JavaOne related to our...
Virtual, Meta, and Identity Buses -- Oh My!
Wow. Lots of good discussion lately on both the identity services topic as well as general directory services (meta, virtual, and the like). I'll start with Jeff Bohren's AD as the elephant in the room post. I agree with Jeff...
