On a closely related note, many sites have asked us to add "sign up date" as well as other reputation attributes to our OpenID service, mostly for anti-abuse purposes. This would be a useful AX attribute, especially if OPs are willing to standardize on this.

Well, I think what Monica is talking about are more like "stats" than reputation.

Not all services count such things, but many could provide an aggregate count as to the number of friends or contacts someone has, or the number of fans or followers they've accrued. Twitter, Facebook, or Amazon might also provide the number of lists they've made (for Amazon, it'd be wishlists), or other stats.

I wouldn't call this "reputation" because of the weight (and near impossibility) of the subject matter — especially when applying it to two disjoint social contexts.

I think this at least bears inspection as Twitter is providing this information. For now, I've created a page on the wiki to explore this topic further:
