Thanks for the comments. I will play around with LinkedID, or claimLink, or whatever name seems to stick for the claimID social stuff. Perhaps then I’ll see why this is significantly more than just another social net.

Our contacts feature is mostly a proof-of-concept to test the scalability of OpenID-based person networks…we’ve got some really cool ideas for what we can build on top of it.

While I agree that we don’t need another social network, we do still need a portable directory of our contacts so that it’s easier to find, share and interact with our friends when we explore and join new *functional* social networks.
