Campaign Strategy: “Dandy” New Profile Management Tool

This morning I would like to take the time to introduce you to a new profile management tool that has successfully cut down the amount of time I have to spend jumping from social networking profile to profile online. It is an application called DandyID, and it has seriously helped me keep all of my social profiles organized and up to date. You can find my DandyID profile here.

DandyID is a service that allows users to collect, manage and share their online identities. DandyID provides a central access point for discovering and managing users’ identity data, and making it portable. Sara Czyzewicz co-founder of Olive Interactive LLC, the interactive group who developed DandyID, exponds “By identity data, we are referring to where else users exist online; we support 154 sites, and that number grows each month. For example, if site A, B and C were synced with DandyID, and a user provides their identity data to site A, that data is automatically sent to site B and C. Users can manage which sites are “synced” or not as well – perhaps she doesn’t want site C to receive data updates.”

Another great feature of DandyID is that it provides developers and site owners with their own an API, or application programming interface, in order to implement user data collection and syncing abilities with their data source. This video from DandyID explains their services further.

What excites me, however, is that this service provides complete organization of all of your social profiles, giving you ONE jumping off point to manage accounts. It also provides a great way to promoting your profiles. If you send people to your DandyID profile, they then have the ability to view all of your other profiles listed with DandyID.

DandyID currently supports over 250 services including:
