<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height:normal;background:white"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">I’m pleased to announce that the WebFinger specification has now been published as an RFC –
<span style="color:#555555"><a href="http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7033.txt">RFC 7033</a></span>. WebFinger enables discovery of information about a user or resource at a host using an HTTP query to a well-known https endpoint, with the discovered information
being returned in a simple JSON structure. For instance, <a href="http://openid.net/connect/">
OpenID Connect</a> uses WebFinger to discover the location of a user’s OpenID Connect server.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
