Bloggers can now proactively defend themselves from identity spoofers
PeoplePond has developed from a search engine optimized online profile service to a full-fledged personal identity portal for people concerned about both increasing the visibility of what they produce online and protecting their reputation from others who may try to spoof their identity.
The ability to assert ownership over social media accounts and other sites has been recently launched on PeoplePond. And now that reach extends to blog sites. Making use of OpenID and OAuth support in the major blogging platforms, PeoplePond enables users to authenticate their ownership of their online content at these sites. Once a blog has been verified, followers will not have to worry about the authenticity of what they are reading.
There’s more coming so stay tuned. In the mean time, you can read more about this in the press release.
