GoDaddy.com patenting NoseRub?

I just learned, that US hoster GoDaddy.com wants to patent a social network technologie:

The company filed three patents this year, published last month, that describe a web portal that aggregates a person’s social networks. For example, you may register your name as a domain name at GoDaddy, and GoDaddy’s product would generate a web portal that has links to all of your social networking pages (e.g. MySpace, Facebook, LinkedIn). Public profiles from social networks may be part of the domain as well, rather than simply sending visitors to the social networks themselves.

The patent filings suggest this data could be aggregated onto the portal using common login systems such as OpenID.

That sounds a lot like NoseRub, don’t you think?
