Links for November 30, 2006: An all identity and reputation management round-up

So now that we’ve all got 5011 online profiles, blogs, and accounts in 5011 places, several companies are stepping in to create online identity and reputation management tools.

Here’s a round-up, although I can’t offer much in the way of commentary. I’m basing my descriptions on under-5-minute-browse-bys (kind of like a drive-by, but with out the guns, cars or gang members) for each site.

Some are in beta. Some are full-blown. One seems a wee-bit sketchy. Two sites tilt more towards reputation management and referrals, though one manages to walk the line between the two. But the goal is largely the same: provide a way for people to claim a name or identity, aggregate and share information published by or about themselves.

• Naymz — Boost your search engine rank by claiming a name and aggregating content about you. I suspect there’s a first-mover advantage here.
• FindMeOn.com — Based on the FindMeOn.org standard
• claimID — Grab an id, then collect, annotate and share stuff that is actually about you. Example. Supports OpenID.
• Profilactic — Limited beta
• iKarma — Reputation management / referral service
• SuprGlu — Personal content aggregator
• Opinity — Reputation management meets online identity aggregator

Have you used any of these services? Would you bother (particularly if you’ve got your own domain)? Know of any others? Post in the comments.
