Distributed microblogging: connecting the masses by making them further apart.

Great to see OStatus gaining traction.

Is there space in the OStatus spec for an email-like username/service format? I'd like to be able to add someone on identi.ca by typing theirhandle@identi.ca, for example, rather than having to copy and paste a link to their atom feed. Or would that be too confusing? If so, is there a more user-friendly alternative?

This is an additional spec used by statusnet called webfinger. we're working with the OStatus folks and should have support soon.
