Web Profile Aggregators

Web profile aggregators help users better manage and display all of their profiles in one place.

Examples

The descriptions are from this overview article, which mentions additional services. The article recommends Spokeo after a comparative review.

ClaimID, http://www.claimid.com/

"lets you claim the information that is about you online. The idea is that you will be able to claim back some control of your online identity rather than leaving it up to the search engines."

FindMeOn, http://www.findmeon.com/

"offers users the ability to create a record for just about any type of account possible."

Lijit, http://www.lijit.com/

"offer users the ability to aggregate and add utility to their web profile information."

Mugshot, http://mugshot.org/

"an open source web profile project sponsored by Red Hat"

Naymz, http://www.naymz.com/

"offers a simple, textlink-based approach to display a number of profile links on a single page."

Profilactic, http://www.profilactic.com/

"a "mashup" which pulls together everything about you into a single stream of information from each of your profile sources."

Spokeo, http://www.spokeo.com/

"Spokeo provides users with three different web profile aggregator views which allows users to see all of their most recent updates to each of their own accounts. Secondly, Spokeo takes a very voyeuristic view by allowing users to switch over to see what all of their contacts from their web profiles are doing online."
