Re: "Is there a SmallWeb service for identity? What's the..."
finger protocol was basically invented for "identity" and similar things. try:
$ finger rqm@tilde.institue
to see my finger message.
There used to be a page called "about.me" which I liked -- basically a page where you could aggregate stuff about yourself. I'm thinking of launching something similar for Gemini. Just buying domains... :)

Is there a SmallWeb service for identity? What's the smallest viable protocol? I'm thinking if I use the same cert on two sites, and I voluntarily publish two triples (username/site/cert) to an identity service, then it should be possible. If someone knows me on Site1 and they log in to Site2 they could find out my user name on Site2. I can think of a couple of twists to keep people from just harvesting all the data willy nilly. Is there someone like that already? Or a decent proposal?
