You have been invited to preview a pre-beta version of a new web service based on Higgins. Higgins is a framework that enables users and enterprises to integrate identity, profile, and relationship information across multiple systems. This demo interoperates with the http://IDMashup.org website that was built for a conference at Harvard. This demonstrates one example of how information from a Higgins based service can be projected onto a web site to provide a more personalized experience, and how information you enter on one website can be saved to a place where you can manage your own data so that you can use it to enrich your interactions at other websites.
