"Fast-forward to July 14th, 2009, when I got a Google Alert on a new Sys-Con article, penned by a certain Yeshim Deniz from Sys-Con, titled "Social Media Marketing Turkish Style" (http://internetvideo.sys-con.com/node/1017038).

"Jeremy Miller has proposed MicroIDs as a microformat that “allows anyone to simply claim verifiable ownership over their own pages and content hosted anywhere.”"

"I've added this to our development branch - it'll be live in a month."
