Where does your digital identity exist?

By gopaldass on November 17, 2010

Recently I have had a number of interesting conversations on the subject of digital identities (DI), particularly where they exist and how they can empower people. The inspiration for this blog post comes from these conversations as well as the digital literacy workshops I deliver to different audiences.

What is a digital identity (DI) ?

A Google search for the phrase suggests several definitions. These range from the highly subjective to the dry and factual variants. My reference to the term is somewhere in between these two extremes. Continue reading “Where does your digital identity exist?”

The first Social Media Baithak in Delhi was a roaring success. The event ran for about two and a half hours. It was held at CCD in Janpath and the staff were kind enough to give us free access to the premium wifi service.
