These are some key differences I have noticed; far from complete.
NetMesh: LID
- authentication + profile exchange + authenticated messaging + other features
- Your URL as identifier (you must set up CGI scripts there)
- public LID service in beta at http://mylid.net/
- No central registry of URLs
- Uses an open-ended list of vocabularies, e.g. VCARDS, FOAF
- Manages identity (who can know what about you...)
- Explicitly list which individuals and/or groups can see what
- does use pgp
- See also LID compared to other systems
Outfoxed
- primary use is to rank/rate webpages
- centralized server (?)
- does have trust rankings
- tags (folksonomy-style) for topicality, used only as a tie-breaker
- cryptographic security?
Ciphire
- "trust" denoted by limited public key sharing (they use a proprietary format of keypairs)
- applied to email only
- email marked with an inline footer
- seems that it runs locally and intercepts SMTP, IMAP, and POP connections
- free only for non-commercial use
