If you are an early adopter and want to play with some sample XID cards, check out the User Directory Page.

What is XID?

The most important thing about social networks is being connected with your friends. By storing and filtering your friends' XID information, you will easily be able to see which of your friends already have accounts on any given social network. No email address book importing. No searching for each of your friends' names. You don't need to rely on the web site's friend-finding mechanisms if you have XID.

How do you pronounce XID?

Let's face it. Saying “ex-eye-dee” is pretty darned boring. White bread, you might say. So the official unofficial pronunciation is “shid”, which rhymes with “lid”. Or “Sid”. Or “stinky squid”. You get the idea.
