About this time last year Google's Brad Fitzpatrick, also the creator of OpenID, led the development of the Google Social Graph API. It's a search engine for all the webpages that we identify as profiles online and it tracks the connections between pages linked together for a single person. At a small event today in Sebastopol, California, British developer Glenn Jones demonstrated the most compelling tool I've seen yet for leveraging this powerful technology.
Called simply Identify, Jones's tool is a Firefox plug-in you can evoke from any web page that has links tagged rel="me". Just click the control key and the "I" key to get a pop-up offering information put together from all around the web about the person that page is tied to. It works on Twitter profile pages, LinkedIn pages, blogs with good markup and other profile pages.
