What other accounts would you be comfortable associating with this trust profile? Would you hook up your GitHub?

I'd hook up my PGP key. Or X.509 certificate. Or old good username and password pair. Something I can truly own and handle. Why do I need some third party to have an identity?

Then I'd enlist accounts with any imaginable third parties (email addresses, Facebook, VKontakte, Google+, BitCoin addresses, GitHub, BitBucket, StackOverflow and so on and so on) as something I have at the moment.
