Avoiding profileschlepping

I’m going to coin a term here… “profileschlepping.” This is the act of re-creating, ad naseum, your identical online profile at [i]n+1[/i] social networking sites.

It turns out that many people want some sort of persistent “logged in” identity across a variety of networks, with all the widgetable functionality inherent therein. I think that [url=http://www.brianoberkirch.com/]Brian Oberkirch[/url] is on to some interesting things in this regard, with his support for [url=http://www.brianoberkirch.com/2007/08/02/designing-portable-social-networks/]open portable social networks[/url].

Sounds good to me!
