Yesterday's post on platforms for a Public Profile page on Buzz/Quora/Etc has drawn zero replies. http://bit.ly/js3EvY http://www.quora.com/What-is-the-current-best-platform-for-a-public-personal-profile-page https://profiles.google.com/julian.bond/posts/fxsVSDkjbvL Just a reminder, this is all aimed at being a page that represents me on the web for other people to find, read and add comments to. So either nobody reads my stuff any more and/or nobody cares. Which I find strange because ISTM to be a reasonable request. The problem is that as far as I can tell, no platforms are really satisfying it. I actually think it should be Friendfeed that does this as they have the most complete aggregation system. But now they're part of Facebook, development has stalled. about.me and flavours.me don't do it for me. Google Profiles don't go nearly far enough yet. Yahoo Buzz has been killed. What else is there? Plaxo?!?! Or do you try and force something like LinkedIn to do it for you. Now clearly, Ecademy is an option as we've already got a lot of this, but what about elsewhere? And what about the walled gardens like Facebook that don't allow their content to be exported. Even building a custom site using wordpress or such like with loads of plugins is a major undertaking and can't do a lot of this. none of the aggregators of content seem to have caught up with new services like Peerindex. And location is still a complete mess with precious little export of information. I tried to do this on voidstar.com 5-10 years ago but gave up in the end. When Social Networks (YASN) really took off, I remember telling people like Scoble that they really should have a YASN-Roll on their websites as well as a Blog-Roll. Links to *their* profiles as well as Links to people they like. But very few people did this and Google Profiles is probably the first profile page that really encourages you to do this. Mostly people put a link on their pages to their Twitter and Facebook but that's all. What about all the others?
