I just spotted a draft in my list of posts from about a year ago that I forgot to publish. Here is the piece that was semi-finished:
MOCHI meeting was this evening. I walked away with many ideas – amongst them a curiosity of how a reputation aggregator would work. Something that pulled into one place all online indications of my past participation and reputableness. These would include my eBay stats, Amazon reviewer ranking (if I had one), Slashdot karma points, the number of songs I’d listened to on last.fm, the keywords and # of posts I’d made on del.icio.us, the number of hours I’ve been running SETI@home… anything that was evidence of how I participate in a group and I am judged.
so, does anyone know of such a thing?
MyLifeBrand looks like it does some of what you described (http://www.techcrunch.com/2007/06/07/mylife-aggregates-social-networking-sites/)
I’m looking for something that is less a centralized management tool for multiple profiles (though that’s an interesting idea) and more an aggregator of my status on various systems.
Amazon might call me a “top 500 riewer”. Ebay might list me as having 878 stars. Slashdot might list me as having “Good” karma.
All these are indications of my contribution to a system. I think being able to surface this information – in a reliable aggregator – might provide an interesting window into some people’s online activities.
Here is a listing of “profile centralization” tools from the article “25+ ways to manage your online identity“:
Comwat.com – All of your online identities in one place to make it easier for you and your friends to get to each of your profiles.
onXiam.com – Link all your online identities into one account and share that will all, making it easier for people to find you across the Internet.
OtherEgo.com – Bring all your networks together and show them all off publicly or just some of them.
ProfileBuilder.com – Creates a centralized profile you link from anywhere, and based on where the user comes from, it determines what aspects to show them.
ProfileMat.com – Aggregate your social site accounts, and even allows people to leave comments on your overall profile page.
SimplifID.com – Bring together all your online identities and arrange them so when you give out the ID, online friends see one setup, business associates another.
SocialURL.com – Connect all your social networks with one handy URL instead of giving your friends a huge list.
Venyo.org – Make a portable online reputation that lets you link all your social networks, blogs, and websites.
Zoolit.com – Allows you to build a landing page with all of your social networks shown, then add buttons on other pages so people can get to it.
