Identity 2.0 in Germany
When I was in Mainz Germany for the Web 2.0 Kongress a couple weeks ago I did an interview with the Elektrischer Reporter. Identity is a hot topic in Germany. The first European Identity Conference started today, and I am giving a keynote tomorrow morning. The Germans seem very sensitive to invasion of privacy, which is contrasted by some moves by authorities to capture significantly more information then in other Western countries on internet usage.
The graphic below links to the German video interview — I am speaking English of course, so the interview will make some sense. It is likely more interesting to the German speakers. Of course I’m not sure about that since I don’t know what is being said and written in German!

Basically subtitles were added to your interview and the questions asked were translated. Really good interview. )
Calm down ;-) I did my very best in translating your eloquent explanations. We measured ca 3 words per second. :-)
I think you did a great job (from what I hear:-))

Thank you very much for sharing your thoughts with us in munich.
We enjoyed your keynote and the discussion panels. That might be a kick off for a more comprehensive discussion in germany.
Thanks for the feedback! I hope it does drive more discussion in Germany.
Hi Dick,
nice to here, yu were here in Germany, but what about the Ars Electronica Festival with its theme "goodbye privay". Why are you not listed as a keynotespeaker? They are talking about Identity 2.0. But how can they without you?

Hey Tobias, looks like an interesting conference. Just did learn about it. Will be interesting to see what memes emerge out the other side.
