Universal profile

many social networking sites require people to add a profile and describe themselves. on the internet it's difficult to know about much about a stranger across the country by simply reading a profile description. moreover most of these sites fall short as users rarely update their profile. so when i'm browsing a profile on other social networking sites i don't really know much about the person hence it makes it difficult for me to reach out to them.

buddystumbler solves that problem by allowing users to integrate their buddystumbler profile with other sites that they update frequently - blogs, photos, knowledge, etc.

last year we introduce an integration to blog sites like blogger, wordpress, xanga, livejournal and myspace. so in the buddystumbler profile the latest blog entries from any of these sites will be displayed.

two months back we introduced photo site integration which allows users to show additional photos as part of their profile. buddystumbler can pull in photos from flickr, sharpcast or smugmug.

today we are also introducing integration with yedda (a leading questions and answers by aol). check out my profile which integrates with all our partners.

again, the goal is to ease introductions on the web so the more you know about someone the easier it is to make the decision to reach out to them. we want your buddystumbler profile to be the universal profile.
