I have to admit I am now using the service more, and I now even find some of it’s features useful. [...] [...] The last time I reviewed ClaimID, I was very negative about it.

It's just an external site where you can collect togther information about yourself. Imagine that over the next 5 years you write a blog in a number of different locations. You also use flickr, linkedin and take part in various discussions. When someone met you they might google you but the results aren't always precise, and they lack context. Instead, you would put your claimid url on your blog or business card and people could see the selection of content from around the web that you felt reflected your identity. It doesn't confirm identity theft and I am a bit confused as to why you wouldn't just do this on your personal page .. i.e a colophon. Steve Hi Joe,
