claimID appears in BBC Collective
October 6th, 2006 - Terrell RussellYesterday, we started seeing incoming refers from the Beeb. This is very exciting.
This morning, we received a note from Rowan at BBC Collective saying we’d been featured in this week’s web column by David Thair. And sure enough, there we are:
There’s an even bigger identity issue here though, and that’s the problem of duplication, clashes and impersonation. Don’t you hate it when your username has been taken? And what if that person – never mind intentional impersonation – is just behaving shamefully? ClaimID are one of the companies trying to invent a unique online ID to prevent this from happening. You can register your real name and your internet handle with a profile listing the sites you own, each of which you can “verify” by updating with a bit of hidden ClaimID code.

Between the New Scientist and BBC, we are feeling much love from the other side of the pond!
