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 with claimID. Go try it in your own account.

Thanks to Russ at Last.fm for pushing this through.

p.s. Last.fm does not force you to register an email address, so this will not work until you’ve added one to your account.

p.p.s You’ll have to make sure you have the trailing slash on the URL or the MicroIDs will not match.

Today, a victory in the making – Russ on the forum writes:

I’ve added this to our development branch – it’ll be live in a month.

This is a big one – let’s keep knocking on doors and see who answers.
