BIRMINGHAM, Mich., Aug. 29 /PRNewswire/ --
ProfileBuilder, the online identity management platform that allows
anyone to take complete control of their online identity, has announced
its public beta launch of Profil.es at http://www.profil.es .
Profil.es is a new way to manage and consolidate multiple online
personas to create a consistent online identity at one single location.
Profil.es allows the user to manage what others know and see,
essentially creating a lasting identity that can be found easily and
tracked regularly.
The Profil.es product was launched in beta preview form at the
TechCrunch MeetUp event July 27 in Menlo Park, Calif. Since the event,
Profile Builder has been aggressively adding new features and adapting
the product based on user feedback. During the beta preview,
approximately 5,000 profiles have been created, and ProfileBuilder has
received more than 450,000 page views.
"Consumers are using many different social networking sites and
need a centralized location for these sites and identities so people
can create the online profile they want the world to see," said Boyan
Josic, founder and CEO of ProfileBuilder. "With Profil.es, consumers
can easily build their online identity with the ability to control
exactly what they want others to see about them."
By creating a Profil.es, a user can manage and track an online
identity for life, similar to having a single phone number for life. No
matter how many social networks a user joins, the Web identity will be
up-to-date. ProfileBuilder provides a way to automatically update
information in major social networking platforms, and an API will allow
anyone to build an update mechanism.
The Profil.es product offers a number of options for letting others
view a profile. A unique Profil.es icon (P) can be added easily to
emails, blogs, Web sites and anywhere HTML code can be placed.
Profil.es can also be linked to other social networking sites such as
LinkedIn and MySpace. Users can also take advantage of a feature that
will place their profile prominently in Google results when their name
is searched.
The Profil.es dashboard provides users with the tools to identify
how many times and on which pages their profile has been viewed by
others. In addition, the dashboard also makes it easy for the user to
control which aspects of their profile will be displayed depending on
the location. The user has complete control over what people see when
they click the Profil.es icon.
Profil.es can be customized by selecting from pre-existing
templates or by creating custom creations via a design wizard. The
platform is available to Microsoft Internet Explorer and Mozilla
Firefox users.
Users can be notified of new features and updates as they happen by visiting the ProfileBuilder blog at http://www.profilebuilder.com/blog .
