Thank you. Did not know about it before. Finally something open is going to replace Facebook & Co. Good ui/ux is also guaranteed as this will be the new space for browsers to compete on.
It needs people to implement it though... one of the guys involved is willing to help people do this. Just contact Henry Story if you're interested in learning more: http://bblfish.net/
I've actually spoken to Henry about it, and seen him demonstrate it together with WebID. The problem is, it's really technical right now; without input and UI support from the browser vendors, it's going to be out of reach for most casual web users.
