Identifi is a decentralized address book that helps you keep your contacts up-to-date. You can connect your name, e-mail, phone number, bitcoin address, photo etc. into the same online identity and get verified by your social network or trusted parties. Think of a decentralized DNS for online identities.

In addition to identity verifications, you can also give each other trust ratings. You can then filter all shown information by your web of trust, for example by showing only the information added by your friends and the people they trust.

The Bitshares team should study Identifi and improve on it in their implementation of decentralized identity. I like the idea of the web of trust and being able to get verified by my social network or trusted third parties. Trust and privacy in my opinion both need to be programmable.
