How many social networking sites?

There are so many social networking sites about now. Just look at these resources to get an idea of the number and scale of these applications:
  1. List of social networking websites
  2. 48 Social News Websites: A List of General and Niche Social Media Communities
  3. List of Social Media and Social Networking Sites
  4. A Definitive List of Social Networking Websites to Help You Succeed
Too many to consider! MyOnlineProfile.net can't help too much here, but if you have a bunch of profiles online, then we can help you - just sign up and list your profiles so that your friends can find them all in one convenient place. No noise, just facts!

Just the thing

Being a fan and user of Grails, I recently signed up at GrailsCrowd.com. When you sign up as part of your profile you can specify links to your profiles at LinkedIn, Twitter, FriendFeed, Flickr, Delicious, an Ohloh.

This is exactly what MyOnlineProfile.net is supposed to help with! When I signed up, I supplied just one link - the link to my MyOnlineProfile.net profile.

It saves a lot of typing, and gives me just one place to update when things change. I'm also not limited to those networks that GrailsCrowd (or any other site) is aware of - I can list as many as I want, and easily keep it up to date.

Sign up now!

Add your profile list to your website

Just added to MyOnlineProfile - Now you can embed you profile list on your website.

Once you have created your profile list on MyOnlineProfile, click on the 'Embed' menu item. From here you can choose from 'Text and Icon', 'Text only', or 'Icon only' options. Once you've decided which one suits your site, copy the Javascript snippet and add it to your site template.

You can add additional CSS formatting in a div block around the javascript to customise the display - for example, to center the content.
