Google: You need identity
- sjs382 15y agoGoogle needs an identity. One with a face, one that's accessible by those of us without a huge blog audience.
- FluidDjango 15y agoI, too, need an identity. But not one controlled by a corporation ultimately responsible to its stockholders. Note three lines of guidance (restated in http://www.blindfiveyearold.com/how-to-implement-rel-author http://www.blindfiveyearold.com/how-to-implement-rel-author ) from Google: > The TL;DR version for implementing rel=”author” is that it requires three specific links. >> A link from your blog post or article to your author page using rel=”author” >> A link from your author page to your Google profile page using rel=”me” >> A link from your Google profile page to your author page using rel=”me”
- MediaBehavior 15y agoBetter than email, I've always liked the idea of using URL to my own web site as an identity. Even if not everyone eventually obtained their own domain name, the idea of using some URI as a (self-chosen) identifier seems to me attractively powerful - as long as one is able to re-select at later time).
