Multiple Email Addresses and Auto MicroID Verification
November 2nd, 2006 - Terrell RussellI’d like to take this opportunity to announce two new features here at claimID. We’ve been working hard to make sure this stuff is pretty easy to understand and to follow.
Tell us how we’re doing!
1) Multiple Email Addresses
At long last, you can now manage multiple email addresses from within your account. More importantly for some of you, you can get rid of that ’spam’ address you put in before you trusted us and get your MicroIDs verifying with real email addresses.
Any addresses you list in your account will remain completely hidden from outside viewers. At a later date, we hope to allow an option to display the addresses you want to display, but not yet. For now, they’re only visible to you from within the management interface in your account.
2) Auto MicroID Verification
When you add a new link (or edit an existing URL) and the site you add is a “Known MicroID Publisher”, your link will be automatically put into the queue for verification by our MicroID ninjas. This will remove the barrier of entry for a lot of you with regards to verification of the claims you’re making here at claimID. As the list of publishers grows, this will be a very nice feature indeed.
3) Three? Who said three?
One of the slick interactions between these two features is that now, with multiple email addresses in your account, the MicroID verifier can try and match against *all* your verified email addresses. If *any* of them match, you’re verified!

As we add new Known MicroID Publishers to the following list, we hope to retroactively verify your links as well - but that hasn’t happened quite yet.

Nice touch.
Unfortunately, techonorati & dal.icio.us verify doesn’t seem to work for me. The site & the verifying microid are different.
i link to the del.icio.us/mynamehere page, right?

Davey,
Technorati isn’t publishing MicroIDs at this time. Del.icio.us however, is. And it should match.
Please make sure after you are satisfied your information will calculate the same values to put your link back into the queue for checking. There is a manual link to do so when you hover over your link while in your account.

[...] I’d alluded to this list in the last couple posts - but I’d like to unveil it here officially, now. [...]

[...] ClaimID support OpenID which is a distributed identity system. With OpenID you can sign in to any service which supports it, e.g. Technorati. There is a great blog entry by the ClaimID folks about it. Recommended. Also they support MicroID verification which works with sites like del.icio.us and Last.FM. However my blog as well as my Last FM profile haven’t been verified yet. [...]
