Customer Segmentation Based on Usage Analysis
Recently, I've had the opportunity to work on emerging subscriber services management projects. I read this as a radar indication of increasing interest in this area by service providers, whether for voice, data or internet.
For me, the topic of subscriber data management naturally leads to a number of areas of interest, tracing all the way back to audience usage analysis fundamentals.
An interesting viewpoint from Cisco Networks on customer segmentation based on usage:

Identity 2.0 (Dick Hardt )
I know that identity-theft is serious business, but still can't help but get my back up with the fear-mongering, including the e-watchdog companies who will gladly take your money in order to monitor identity intruders for you.
Someone who has raised the discussion bar for me is Dick Hardt, local tech guru and CEO of Vancouver-based Sxip Networks (http://www.sxip.com)
Check out a fascinating presentation from a thought leader on who identify should be managed at the back end:

Directories and Identities (x.500 and OpenID)
Well, this blog has become much more intermittent than I had originally imagined, although I never claimed to be a 'power blogger'...
As an information developer, I've always been fascinated with databases as the holy grail of information storage. Fortunately, much of my client work has taken me in this direction, more on the technical writing side than on the instructional design side, including:
Current work on a subscriber management system for Telcordia (via Tekmark Global Solutions) is opening a window into the domain of mobile subscriber identities, for call management and service billing functions.
Parallel work documenting a DataGrid Unified Query modeler for Alcatel-Lucent (via Tekmark Global Solutions) is extending my directory services knowledge from X.400 into X.500, as I enter the world of Directory Information Trees (DIT).
Now I have stumbled on an interesting crossover technology, OpenId, which seems to be the current titleholder of the Single Sign On holy grail. Signed up, and in the process found that OpenID owes some technological parentage to Sxip/Active State right here in Vancouver BC. Cool!
