  Aren’t you all fed up of logging into various different accounts on the internet? Think about it, in the last five minutes how many times have you typed out your email address or username and typed a password? I have myself had to sign into at least five different websites in the last few minutes, facebook, GMail, university e-mail, blogspot, eBay, pay pal and my bank. All required me to fill out those little boxes. You may be thinking that sounds like Microsoft's Windows Live ID or one of its’ previous incarnations, well essentially it is but why not do just that? Windows Live ID failed for various reasons, mainly people didn’t trust microsoft with the amount of information they would have access to. But why doesn’t another company with a good reputation, say Google, implement such a system. Many people have a GoogleID already why not extend that to work across other websites. We already see facebook doing something similar, there are several websites now where you can sign in with facebook. So who knows maybe this single sign-in is already creeping up on us?

First Blog

Hello and welcome to The Web Nexus blog. This is a brand new blog started with virtually no purpose other than to share the great content available on the internet and get the most out of life in the digital world we live in.


What makes The Web Nexus so special?
 This blog is all about the fantastic content available on the internet and new technology. The blog looks at the ways people use the internet from social networking and communication to shopping, entertainment and how we can make the most of the real world from the internet something which seems to have been lost.

Who is writing this blog?
 The Web Nexus is written by a typical university student, someone who uses the internet for everything but has no more knowledge of computers than most people these days. With this in mind the blog is centred mainly around my own life but in months to come will hopefully have grown to incorporate a family of contributors and guest posts.

So hopefully The Web Nexus will soon be at the forefront of internet culture and have developed a loyal following so stay tuned...
