Online identity management takes a lot of time. This is because each site you have a profile on has unique information based on the type of social network. For instance, Facebook is used to maintain social connections where LinkedIn is intended to be more work centric. What if you wanted to have a page that contained all your social networking profiled pages?

This is where GizaPage comes into play. GizaPage (Beta) is a social network organizer that helps consumers and brands manage their online presence by consolidating their many social networking profiles side by side under a personalized URL. GizaPage provides a secure and centralized way to share profiles while more deeply engaging online with others by exploring their profiles and identifying additional social networks they have in common. GizaPage was founded in 2008 and develops tools to help consumers and brands organize the social web around them by consolidating their online profiles, connecting with others and more easily navigating the social sphere.

With the service, a user imports all their profile information from various social networks. At the moment, GizaPage supports around 40 social sites including Flickr, Facebook, FriendFeed, Digg and so on. After your GizaPage is configured, you have one location for your online contacts to see your activities across your personal social networking universe.

What other tools do you use for profile management?

Recently, several lists and surveys have sought to predict the tools and strategies that will play the critical dual role of supporting business strategy while boosting company revenue. These lists offer a “sneak peek” at which technologies many CIOs and top IT executives will be implementing and/or expanding over the next three years.According to technology research firm Gartner, Inc., its 2009 list focuses on technologies that “… impact the organization’s long-term plans, programs and initiatives.”
 

Although they may be labeled differently, several technologies appear on both notable lists above, which is a strong indication they should be given serious implementation consideration. Here are the technologies that overlap:

• Virtualization: Though definitions vary depending upon the type of virtualization, essentially this technology allows one computer or application to do the work of several.
• Web/Internet Apps and Architectures: As the need for the interoperability of applications increases, so will the need to build Web-centric applications to meet global needs.
• Social Networking: When it comes to this technology, Gartner says the “risk lies in failure to engage and thereby, being left mute in a dialogue where your voice must be heard.”
• Unified Communications: As consolidation continues in the communications industry, so will a company’s reliance on fewer vendors.
