Back when I was in college (you know, "back" in 2005), Facebook was only available for college students. So as hesitant as I was to have two (or three) internet identities, I created a Myspace page to keep in touch with my friends who did not attend college. I had never heard of these "identity managers" until I read this blog, but without even trying them I already endorse your conclusion. It sounds too complicated. First of all, I think most people enjoy spending hours carefully crafting their internet (and probably consequently their actual) identities. But more importantly, as you said, most of us have different profiles for different reasons or social networks and prefer to share certain information with certain groups (let's not forget the time a good friend of mine accidentally came out to his father via Myspace.) I guess if you were running for office or something and maintaining dozens of online profiles these identity managers would be something worth exploring, but I think I speak for most recreational social network-ers when I say that it sounds like more trouble than it is worth.</p> I use both Myspace and Facebook (plus I have a blog on Xanga.)

NO!!! Visual Webgui is not!!
Not a component library – It is a complete revised approach to developing web applications.

not a JavaScript generator – It runs on the server controlling the browser using a small static JavaScript kernel.

Not for developing sites – It was designed to provide for developing IT web applications GUIs.

Not a closed / locked-in framework – It has many extensibility features, which allow integration of legacy resources (ASP.NET or DHTML resources) and the development of custom controls and behaviors.
Worth a look at http://www.visualwebgui.com,
