I have heard a number of great things about Dave Morin at Facebook and have been wanting to chat with him about his views on identity for a while, and yesterday I had the opportunity to sit down with him and Josh Elman. For those that don’t know Dave, he is one of the driving forces behind the Facebook platform and Facebook Connect.

While there is an opportunity for Facebook to be an successful identity silo through Facebook Connect (see my previous post), Dave and Josh are interested in helping Identity 2.0 become a reality. They expressed sincere interest in seeing how OpenID can fit into Facebook Connect. This is a great opportunity for the OpenID community to come together to work with an organization committed to open platforms (see their support of the Open Web Foundation) and that has demonstrated leadership in solving internet identity problems.
