Identity Fragmentation

The other day I blogged about the fragmentation in the experience of using Facebook + LinkedIn + Flickr + Twitter + Blog + etc.

Francis Shanahan has gone a bit further and tried to map it all of the entities that know something of his identity.

His result was this picture:

The interesting thing is  that he’s only gone as far as the entity that holds the information not what the information is that each one holds. I suspect that a diagram with all of the information types on it would be a huge diagram.

Is there any wonder people can’t remember where they left themselves, or is that just me.
