Yet another new social network – Naymz
February 11th, 2008
I just got an email invitation from a friend to join yet another social network – naymz.
The concept sounds cool enough – I took this description I liked from mashable.com:
“The idea is that you can create an accurate profile of yourself and optionally pay Naymz for top placement on the search engines – in fact, the Premium account will get your Naymz profile listed at the top of the sponsored results on Yahoo, MSN, Ask and AOL Search. You can use the profile page to link to your Flickr photos, your LinkedIn page, your Yahoo profile, your YouTube videos, your MySpace/Friendster profile, your del.icio.us links or any site you wish. You can also write a short bio, and allow others to contact you through the site without exposing your email address.
There’s definitely a big demand for this type of service. If a potential employer is Googling your name, do you want them to find a neatly presented biography, or your drunken party photos on MySpace? Likewise, your enemies are free to set up fake Tagworld profiles for you to mislead potential business partners, employers or girlfriends. What’s more, Google users could confuse you for someone else of the same name – these new services could help to clear up the confusion.”
Here’s my profile, you’re welcome to try this out yourself too.
