Intelligent Identity Information

***Begin Quote***

Just as a url is an address for a website, an i-name is an Internet address for YOU! It is a simple, secure way to authenticate your identity and to share personal data, with the assurance that it will remain private and up-to-date. Further, your identity cannot be “harvested” by spammers or other marketers without your express permission.

Contact Service

Your Contact Service is a way for you to put a link on your web pages or on your business card that allows people to contact you, without exposing your email address to spammers.

Use the menu at the left to view the messages you have received, and to inspect and/or edit your Contact Service settings.

The address for other people to reach your Contact Page is http://2idi.com/contact/=reinkefj.

I signed up with this a while ago. So long ago, I don’t remember when. I bought it because I could put the link on any website and it would send me a non-spam email. (Neat! Still haven’t seen such elsewhere.) The identity claims I haven’t seen any great benefit for, but, I did get a good service.

It always worked flawlessly from http://public.2idi.com/=reinkefj

BUT

yesterday, a contact tried to use it and via different channel told me it wasn’t working. Upon testing, I found he was right. (Thanks!) SO I pinged every where I could find, and got the response, “where did that url come from”. Huh? From youse guys. Did you think I could make that up on my own.

From this I learn that the inet, even when you pay for something, ain’t set it and forget it.

I need a process where I check components to ensure they are working. Especially when I paid for a service.

NOW, I have to find all the places I put it and update them. Thanks a good trick. Maybe Google?

Argh!
