Virtually Here

So, you’ve allowed yourself to get sucked into the online world and you got profiles set up on Blogger, Friendster, MySpace, FaceBook, Flickr…the list goes on…and on…. Managing these profiles are now almost a full-time job as you have to log in to them all and make your updates, add photos (can never have too many of those cat and cleavage photos) and oops..you just forgot your DeviantArt password. Rats.

Sounds familiar?

First of all, rest assured that you are far from the only one facing these same issues. Studies (truth: I think I remember reading this somewhere, sometime) have shown that if you are a fan of social networks you will have, on average, ten active online profiles. Sounds like a lot? Add them up and you may be surprised.

One site that tries to address this existential issue is SocialURL.com. It’s a rather new offering (are there any old offerings on the internet apart from eBay?) and for the social networking butterfly it may actually be a significant time saver.

In simple terms, SocialURL allows you to manage all your online profiles from one single location. It supports a wide number of the more popular networking sites and odds are that you’ll be able to add the ones you participate on unless you are on some early Beta-version of some obscure foot fetish site. It also allows you to continue the search for people that share the same interests as you (or just look hot in their photos) and to get reports showing who is visiting your profile sites.

So if social networks is your drug this may be the medicine cabinet you’ve been looking for. If you decide to check be sure to leave a comment here telling us what you thought about it.
