And you're right, the more the merrier! As long as people take into consideration past attemtps and either learn or ignore them, but ultimately make a choice one way or another, I'm usually fairly content. I take your point.

Spokeo is no better than Iceflake or Profilactic. You don't support XFN, you don't support ClaimID and frankly, I'd rather keep those social networks separate. I mean, I get how you want to be "Trillian for social networks" but what keeps them from being connected are not proprietary protocols... it's the people. And unless you come up with a way to reconcile and sync profiles from one social network to another, I simply don't see how you're helping me interact with people online in a way that reflects my understanding of them as real, multi-faceted people!

That by itself isn't very interesting. And while there are elements of Suprglu and ClaimID, it definitely isn't a clone of either one. We hope to have a beta live in a few weeks, so you can see for yourself. Profilactic is not just about pulling all of your profile links together. That by itself isn’t very interesting.
