npub1jc6u6ggtwe8nf37axz0rdayqhn7r77aq9r3duj9uesr6axqnnk0q6y7v67 (npub1jc6…7v67) I love the term "social address"! Much better than webfinger 😅

Two things I would add: first, the initial '@' is unnecessary and imho confusing. Eugen added it to mimic Twitter's @handles, but in personal communication it doesn't really add anything, and arguably takes away.

Second, I wrote up this short thread recently about the original vision for webfinger/social addresses: https://mastodon.social/@blaine/112073273204522419 - hopefully it's helpful!
