Several posts on this blog express a preference for a completely 'neutral' form of UAIN, and I beg to differ on this issue. I predict that widespread using of UAINs will take off only if people can remember them, pass them to others on a piece of paper at conferences, and become somewhat sentimentally attached to them... This would work with an UAIN that contains whole or part of your name and the first year you ever published anything, and it will not work with a random string of 7 or 8 numbers and/or letters.

Cheers for now
