Web 2.0 has brought us some great thinkers in the social web sphere. This includes a really good friend of the wiki world and open culture – the fabulous unconference facilitator Kaliya Hamlin. She is the preeminent evangelist for the OpenID community – look for her at the upcoming Internet Identity Workshop, May 18 – 20.
Speaking of identity on the web, does anyone know who the Most Infamous Woman on the Web 1.0 is? Or how she got started? Here is an example of a parked page that she is on – for those with an inexperienced eye, there is no real content there. While working on the AboutUs wiki, you will quickly get used to seeing her and quickly adding {{ParkingLot}} to a domain page that she is on.
Update:
John Broughton (author of Wikipedia: The Missing Manual and all around fabulous Wikipedian) pointed us to this weblog post from last year The Most Infamous Girl in the History of the Internet. In the comments there are many leads about where the photograph comes from – including the photographer himself – it is his sister! Identity solved. Thanks John!
