I'm rolling out three social networking tools (SocialText, CollectiveX and Eventvue) to Defrag attendees over the next few days, and already I'm feeling the pain of separate logins.

The answer to this problem could come in a couple of forms:

1. All social networking tools merge into one entity â€" Not likely.

2. Federated single sign-on relationships are established between the vendors of the tools (Andre?).

3. These tools adopt something like OpenID (or anyone of the vendors that support OpenID, CardSpace, etc).

I know everyone is busy building features and landing business, but can we puh-lease get together and get this done.

Yours truly,
A guy that uses social networking tools

PS: None of the above is meant to imply that each tool isn't useful and worthwhile - they are, and they all perform different functions, hence my frustrations.
