MyBlogLog has just started publishing MicroIDs (and FOAF) for member pages at http://www.mybloglog.com/buzz/members/username.
And…
has also started publishing MicroIDs and some XFN. You can see Alexander Kohlhofer’s profile at .
Great work!
In a post this morning, Digg announces MicroID publication on all their user profiles:
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.
Plaxo has just pushed live their MicroID implementation at myplaxo.com.
:
Another notch on the MicroID belt.
Today we add to the list of . Welcome, Plaxo! And thanks !
You can see it in action in the head of any page with the pattern http://NICKNAME.myplaxo.com/.
Plaxo will create and publish a MicroID for each of your verified email addresses in your account. You need to visit and claim your NICKNAME.
Based on some feedback we received from Evan Prodromou on the discussion list back in August, we have updated the MicroID Internet-Draft. The new version is draft-miller-microid-01 and it is available both at microid.org and ietf.org.
Antono Vasiljev alerts us to his MicroID Gem for Ruby:
I’ve just implemented MicroID module in ruby.
Let’s add semantic to the web!
$ wget http://antono.info/ruby/microid-0.0.1.gem $ sudo gem install microid-0.0.1.gem
Thank you Antonio!
Via Terrell Russell, news of a MicroID module for Drupal
I’ve been working with Tane Piper over the last couple days over IRC tweaking his (getting it Version .3 compatible).
He has implemented node-level and comment-level MicroIDs that appear both in the meta tags of the page and are then rendered into the node divs and comment divs directly via jQuery.
The jQuery is fired via javascript after the DOM is loaded, so currently, DOM-unaware spiders/parsers will not be able to see the node and comment-level MicroIDs. That said, I’m not aware of any MicroID parsers that aren’t working only at the page level (full URL, not sub-content *on* the page).
Additionally, the Drupal-generated user profile pages have MicroIDs.
His implementation is live on his site - Digital Spaghetti.
His code can be found on the Drupal site - Drupal MicroID module.
Great news! Download the Drupal MicroID module here.
By popular demand, we have submitted the MicroID specification as an Internet-Draft. Eventually this effort may result in publication of an Informational RFC defining the technology. Please send feedback to the mailing list and we’ll update or clarify the spec accordingly.
Jim Walker was kind enough to create a perl module for MicroID, which you can now download from our code repository.

Thank you to Jim for his work on this Module!
, the UK media directory, has enabled support of MicroID on their site. This will allow people who have MediaUK profiles to effortlessly transfer their reputation to services like ClaimID or Wink - or anyone else that consumes MicroID’s. Congrats to MediaUK on this implementation - it seems like a great match for the service.
Great news from the folks at Wink, the social search engine. They are now supporting MicroID - as a producer and a consumer! This is really exciting because it is only the second instance I know about of a company being a consumer. Consumers are incredibly important because they become the “hubs” of identity, allowing you to create verified places. For example, Wink can now claim all sorts of MicroID-enabled pages, but it can also claim other consumers, such as ClaimID. When a consumer claims a consumer, it creates a very cool identity trust chain - all of the trust that comes from the claims at consumer A are transferred to consumer B, the claiming consumer. Very cool! Here’s what the folks from Wink have to say:
The second method of verification is via a new open standard called MicroID. MicroID is a simple and easy verification system that more and more services are adopting. Last.fm, Ma.gnolia, Wink, ClaimID and others for example. Without getting too technical, these sites put some encrypted MicroID code in the header of their pages that includes your verified email address that you use for that account. When you verify the same email address with us and add one of your accounts from these services, we can run a check to that site to see if they match. We also provide you with your own MicroID code to place in other sites that you can control. So if you own a blog and can edit the template, you can get a MicroID issued from us and place it in the header of that site. Then when you claim that site, we can verify it as being yours. Whew… It’s really not that complicated, so don’t worry.
Great news! See everyone at the upcoming IIW in May.
