Hey does anyone use claimID? If you do, should you add every single page to it? Once you've done that should you add a link to every social profile site you participate in? Every blog associated with that site too?

ClaimID at first was pretty useful. The links I added on ClaimID quickly showed up within my backlinks in Google which was great since I am able to specify everything about the link. However that was long ago and my ClaimID is pretty much a paperweight in relation of getting a few good links.
In your case I'd definitely make sure you keep your profiles seperate. You wouldn't want to cross paths with the many projects you have going on for various reasons.

ClaimID is great if you think of it on a macro level, so claiming profiles blogs etc and the openID aspect is great. Where it falls down if you use it to claim things on a micro level i.e individual blog posts etc.Since it is just a big list while it may show up in G it has no SEO benefit what so ever though claimID is a great authority site so ranks well for keywords such as your name.
