Finally, the rather intriguing social graph aggregation project that Brad Fitzpatrick and David Recordon have been working was announced publicly on Six Apart’s blog today by David.

Go ahead and read the long post; also compare the more technical paper they wrote earlier.

Let me first say that I have no idea what Six Apart’s business plan is around this project; hopefully, their new management is paying more attention to this rather significant project than they were to OpenID (which to many observers, including myself, seemed to have never come in a C-level meeting there.)

But, if they have their stuff together, and they can execute in the business sense, this project could become the single most important reason Six Apart would become a very attractive acquisition candidate six to twelve months down the road.

It will be interesting to watch … certainly Six Apart is lucky to have David back, who is now the main engine for the project as I understand it, and who, shall we say, has "a few" ;-) talents …
