I’ve recently been answering questions in the TextDrive forums about OpenID. There is a genuine growing interest in this burgeoning technology and a sense of excitement when people figure out what it can do and why it’s a good thing.
OpenID works for you in a couple different ways:
1) You can use your OpenID to [...]
I wrote to Evan Prodromou yesterday - after staring at the MediaWiki code for about an hour trying to figure out how to write an extension. Needless to say, it was one of the most productive emails I’ve ever written since within about 8 minutes (give or take a night’s sleep), a MicroID extension [...]
Also tagged extension, mediawiki, MicroID, wikipediaI noticed a couple days ago that one of our claimID users (and Yahoo! employee), lmorchard, had successfully claimed his del.icio.us page with a MicroID. This was news to me, as I couldn’t do that just a few days before…
I have confirmed that user pages at del.icio.us are now publishing MicroIDs in their headers [...]
Earlier, I wrote about Last.fm’s statement of intent to publish MicroIDs on their user pages.
Well, the month has passed, and it’s live. You will now find a MicroID (computed from the page’s URL and your registered email address) in the head area of your user profile page at Last.fm.
And the verification works flawlessly [...]
Online identity is something we’re all beginning to face. We exist in a time when the majority of our digital footprints are being copied somewhere else.

This is our official announcement on the claimID blog:
ClaimID proudly announces it has joined a consortium of ten forward-thinking companies to fund the development and adoption of OpenID. ClaimID utilizes OpenID, a standards-based identity [...]
ClaimID has been my muse the past few weeks again, due to my overhauling of the account system to make all our accounts OpenIDs. This makes available to our users the ability to verify themselves at any OpenID-enabled site on the internet. It also allows claimID to act as the first aggregator of [...]
Also tagged beta, identity20, OpenIDJonathan Zittrain, director and co-founder of the Berkman Center for Internet & Society, was this morning’s plenary speaker at JCDL2006. Titled “Open Information: Redaction, Restriction, and Removal”, he spoke a lot about how our future will be defined by our relationships with public information. He spoke about DRM, governmental redaction, libraries’ roles in [...]
Also tagged berkman, harvard, jcdl2006, zittrainI’ve been hard at work the last couple weeks getting claimID ready for her transition to being both an OpenID server and consumer. We will be able to add a layer of user-centered verification and aggregation above and beyond our recent announcement of link verification.
We have some copy to write and some polish to [...]
