MicroID at Digg.com

January 29th, 2008 - Terrell Russell

Another feather for MicroID - and another automatically verified link for many of the users here at claimID.

This morning, Digg announced publication of MicroIDs on every user profile:

Digg already supports many of the open standards that let you use your data on sites other than Digg, including RSS, OPML, and hCard. We use RDF to embed the Creative Commons public domain dedication into each page. Just this week, we added MicroID, a Microformat that lets you prove to other services that you own your Digg user profile. We’ll be adding more open standards, such as OpenID, APML, OAuth, and XFN, in the coming months.

Again, just like last week, please check the list of Known MicroID Publishers and make sure your links are in the right format. Those trailing slashes are tricky sometimes.

    This is great news. I’m glad to see so many people adopting this.

    I’m finding my Last.FM profile isn’t being verified though everything (including the trailing slashes) seem to be in place.
