claimID in the blogosphere
February 17th, 2006 - Fred StutzmanWe had a nice surprise this morning when we found out that claimID has been listed by the early-alpha Museum of Modern Betas. Now that we have a blog, it seemed like a good time to list (and possibly respond to) some of the blogosphere-love claimID’s received over the past few weeks. In no particular order, here are some more posts we’ve come across.
- Entries in Life - claimID Mark Hershberger puts forth an excellent use case for claimID, and he calls me brilliant. The check, as they say, is in the mail.
- Webmarketing - claimID Sylavain Briant covers claimID, en Francais.
- The Informist - Facebook and Social Software The Informist himself, Tom Cizsek covers claimID a little.
- Web 2.0 Central - ClaimID, Online Identity Management We’re officially Web 2.0 now.
- ClaimID - Another social personality/online information manager? B.K. DeLong offers some of the earliest coverage of claimID. The interesting serendipity of this post is that it discusses Microformat. ClaimID creates a hCard (a type of Microformat) for every user, and we’re really hoping to leverage Microformats for standards-based, transportable reputation down the road.
Thanks to everyone who has covered us. Every time we see claimID show up on our Technorati watchlist, it brightens our day.
