Doc Searls has done a very succinct post on the Principles of VRM in preparation for the VRM Workshop next week in Boston. You can’t read it and not see how closely VRM is related to r-cards (relationship cards) and XDI. I’m so excited to actually start bringing this to market this year that sometimes I want to drop everything else (standards calls, conferences, email, expense reports, EVERYTHING) and just work on that ’till its out the door.

Like the Web itself, the Web of Relationships — the whole Web becoming a social network — will change the world in ways we can hardly begin to imagine.
