How many identities do YOU have?

In case you ever wondered just how complex your online identity profile is becoming, Fred Cavazza has created a great diagram of the problem space:

Identity Grid

(source: FredCavazza blog)

[Note: The above block titled "Certificates" aren't CA's! They're really technologies who employ (potentially external third party) Identity Providers who are willing to assert certain things about you - for example, your bank, employer, government, insurer, etc. ]

It gets kinda scary when you see the problem mapped out graphically doesn't it? ;)
