[...] don’t write about it often, but you may remember some posts about domain as identity I’ve written in the past. The Google Social Graph API is now getting us there by recognizing [...]

claimID is NOT a match to this concept. claimID:
(a) assumes that a reader is human rather than a machine (no machine readable RDF)
(b) only talks to claimID and microID websites (very well, admittedly)
(c) assumes that it’s own OpenID is your primary OpenID URL.

As well, once you have an OpenID, you can ‘delegate‘ your domain to serve as your OpenID URL - allowing you the ability to leave comments, edit wikis, etc. - all with a single sign-on (to all OpenID-enabled sites).

If your site were accepting OpenID comments right now, I could leave a verified comment here - just by putting in my own homepage or blog address.

And as a side note - your claimID *is* an OpenID, so you could use it directly, even if you didn’t own your own domain.

Have you checked out ClaimID? Their service is more or less based on this notion. They also support XFN and microID, which can be useful for expressing places elsewhere on the web that are also “you”.

Ofcourse the domain name is identity or it’s helps to uncover the identity of it owner. The domain name caryies sense of web site content or company’s main line

Yes, the blog is a reflection of yourself. Its your space and unique to you. Todays thought leaders so that if you don’t have a web identity, then tomorrow your toast. Early adopters have the ability to be ahead of the curve.

For ompl , am playing at opmlmanager.com
You can import and export your feeds. I for one would like to troll your blogroll :)-

Cori…thanks! I hadn’t yet delved into the OPML creation tools, but I was hoping on finding a WP plugin once I did. Cool.

I’ll check out LID, too. That sounds interesting.

Have you thought about including an actual ID service related to your domain? Something like LID? Also, I supply an OPML version of my WordPress blog. I plan on making it more of a plug-in and less of a template, but you can check out the version I'm running right now here.

It seems you might enjoy following some of the links found in http://www.identitygang.org/Reference… about user-centric identity.

“In essence, I’m making my domain my identity. It sounds reasonable, does it not?”

Perfectly! Your space *is* your online identity, and everything should be interconnected. Ideally, all such interconnected sites have a similar look and feel (part of your own personal “brand identity”). Having a personal “brand Identity” may sound a bit lame, but really, what you are doing is telling people: “this information comes from me, and I am someone with whom you can trust”. It builds credibility.

Oh, and awhile back you mentioned I should write more. I have been. Thanks for kicking me in the pants. I needed it.
