We're long past due for a free and open-source tool for managing one's own identity on the public networks.
When we go out into the world, we dress ourselves in a manner befitting the way we want the world to perceive us. For a decade, Facebook has been mandating that we can only wear one hat, ever, and never any masks, and services like Google+ have followed suit.
While I'm glad that Zuckerberg has finally admitted that one might want to change hats or put on a mask, I don't think it would be wise to just leave it all up to him, or any other person that has no vested interest in your online identity. It has to be something no one else can control but you.
