Google Wave may be the nail in the coffin of what to use as/for your “Internet Identifier” - your JID (aka your GMail ID or email address) Why? How? Because now wave does what the folks over at OMB and Identi.ca have been debating over for months - what identifier to use when an OMB post crosses out of the server it’s created on and used/referenced by another. Various methods have been suggested - most variations on email or JID and others - but now since every ID on an Identi.ca server can have either an email id or a JID and the domain part of that is already unique, the problem has been solved using the 800 lb gorilla implementation rule.
