Just installed it and it works very impressively! I am now looking at
your two stack overflow answers :)

Can you determine how it know that stack overflow user is you? Are you
declaring it somewhere or is Google's SG API inferring it from other
data?

Looking at the source of your stack overflow user page I see:

<a href="http://danbri.org/" rel="nofollow me" class="url">danbri.org</a>

So, I'm guessing it's an XFN inferred relationship.

(/me remains silent on the fact that we have a useful application that
works despite confusing you with your webpage :)
