Okay, I am going to give it another go at keeping up with blogging.

I have been working on two personal projects (now three) lately:

1. Participating in social networking communities.

• During JOMC 191 I began participating in 43Things.com and this remains one of my favorites because it has a practicial goal beyond networking.

• I began a LinkedIn profile when my old roomate from the University of Amsterdam sent me an invite. This also is one of my favorites because it is brutally practical in purpose.

• I joined MySpace, Friendster, and Facebook because my friends use them. Most of my friends appear to be on MySpace. However some of my classier friends are only on Friendster. I have just started exploring Facebook, but look forward to seeing more of Fred Stuzman’s research on it.

2. I am working to build an online identity. While the social networking profiles are part of my strategy, ClaimID is the hub holding it all together. This is a great idea started locally by a few PhD students here at SILS. I would write my praises of it, but the folks at PostBubble have already said what needs to be said in this post. I have been working to add my ClaimID hcard to all of my various sites and have verified the sites that I can.
