The word "trust" is of course a loaded term. I use the phrase "social trust" to distinguish the concept from cryptographic trust, which is largely what your company offers. In the physical world, social trust relies on instinctual, highly evolved ceremonies, social emotions, queues, signals, shared memory, social status, connection, and demonstrations of ability. Such things are largely missing from today's technologies. I've written a bit about "laws of relation" on the Burton Group blog. I'll be talking a lot more about these issues on this blog, so stay tuned! Hi Judy, thanks for reading the post.

Shameless plug! Aside from that, I think you have oversimplified the issue a bit in order to promote what your company does. I think online trust entails a LOT more than just verifying who is on the other end of a transaction. At least it does for me. I know exactly who is on the other end with Facebook, for example. It's what they're doing with the data they have that makes me not trust them. Yikes, Judy! Shameless plug!
