From a coffee shop on Franklin Street in May 2006… To today… After 7 years, 6 months, and 20 days, Fred and I have closed the doors we opened at claimID.com. We tried for months to keep the existing codebase up and running, but have hit a wall and decided to make a clean break […]
Also tagged deadpoolSo, 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 […]
Also tagged dissertation, googleIt’s almost June. Wow. The last month and a half have really been a blur. Let’s see if we can work out why… PARC I met Ed Chi at ASIST last October when he hijacked a panel with his very interesting work on WikiDashboard.

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 […]

As I wrote over at claimID, we had an incredible few days. There was a new energy in the air this time as interoperability was assumed and a focus on services began to […]
Also tagged beacon, dataportability, iiw2007b, oauth, openlifebits, privacy, reputationWe just heard from American Public Media’s American RadioWorks – they want to interview some claimID users for an upcoming documentary about online identity. What fun. The wonderful folks at American Public Media’s American RadioWorks are looking for ClaimID users to appear in an hourlong documentary about online identity and self-marketing. This is a great […]
Also tagged apmA good week for hearing back about things. Both short papers I submitted to ASIST were accepted. Fred and I submitted a claimID write-up with the title “Self-Representation of Online Identity in Collected Hyperlinks”. Additionally, my first attempt at writing down my thoughts about the use of social tags over time was accepted with the […]

I love it when people who write well make me sound smart. What was he doing that I found […]

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 we ascribe to […]
