Two more feathers in the MicroID cap today…
Both Fred and the MicroID blog have the news:
MyBlogLog has just started publishing MicroIDs (and FOAF) for member pages at http://www.mybloglog.com/buzz/members/username.
And…
WeeWar has also started publishing MicroIDs and some XFN. You can see Alexander Kohlhofer’s profile at http://weewar.com/user/alex.
This week (and a little of last month) - MicroID has made some major progress.
MyOpenID
First, I see that MyOpenID has implemented MicroID. Excellent implementation. They allow you a lot of control over how your information should be shared - and with your confirmed email addresses, they publish MicroID for others to be able [...]
We rolled out Verified Pages today.
OpenID is in the air, and providing services across domains will become very important very soon. I think we’re still about six months out from the Big Bang. August. I’m calling it.
Verification underlies Identity. Identity underlies claims about a person. Aggregated claims underlie the reputations [...]
I’m here at the Internet Identity Workshop and have been having a number of great conversations. The quality of the discussions is high and the number of demos is remarkable. Only seven months ago when I was in Mountain View for the earlier IIW2006, there were a couple demos of near-working implementations and [...]
Also tagged claimID, iiw, iiw2006b, OpenIDI 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 claimID, extension, mediawiki, 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 [...]
I just released a very small MicroID mod (download) for the bulletin board system, PunBB.
The release description:
This mod will display a MicroID ( http://microid.org ) on a user’s profile in the head tag. This mod allows a user’s profile to be ‘claimed’ by a third party that has independently verified the user’s email address and [...]
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 [...]
Earlier this summer I put the call out to the MicroID army…
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.
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. One AOL searcher so far, Thelma Arnold of Georgia, 62, has been identified by the NYTimes to be unique user 4417749. This is a disturbing first [...]
