So, it seems we were onto something with claimID. Just not quite at the scale we needed back in 2005.
Today, Google launched “Me on the Web” as part of their Google Dashboard.
However, your online identity is determined not only by what you post, but also by what others post about you — whether a mention in a blog post, a photo tag or a reply to a public status update. When someone searches for your name on a search engine like Google, the results that appear are a combination of information you’ve posted and information published by others.
