I’ve presence enabled jaredhanson.net, a micro-site of mine that I’m using to explore the myriad ideas and technologies centered around digital identity.
In it’s current incarnation, the site serves as a web-based business card. I can point people to a single destination, which in turn links to the various ways to get in contact with me. One of those ways is, of course, instant messaging.
One of the handy features of IM is presence indicators, which show whether someone is available or away. I’ve brought those indicators to my identity site. If I’m online, a green dot will be displayed next to my IM address. If I’m away, a red dot will appear. The dot will remain gray when I am offline.
