Maintain Your Online Presence With Retaggr
September 27, 2008 – 11:30 am | by Daryl TayYou might have noticed on the extreme right of my theme, there’s a new widget which has my profile picture, a short “about me”, my twitter stream and links to all the services I’m on. This is from Retaggr, which I read about a long time ago, but only got down to using now.
Essentially Retaggr allows you to let everyone know what you’re up to online (if you want that), and you can attach this to your email signature as well (I’m having a little problem with Gmail because it doesn’t accept html signatures, but I’m sure I can get around it).
The benefits of Retaggr are pretty obvious. You don’t have to manually add links, people see it at a glance and know intuitively it’s almost like a digital name card, and it really helps show people where and how to contact you online. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone who is serious about building their presence online.

Hi there!
One way to add your retaggr signature to gmail is to use wisestamp.com - a plugin that allows you to add your signature to any webmail.
Take care.

This reminds me a little of FriendFeed. A lot of overlapping apps right now - guess it will distil down once most of the local community has decided to use one.

@Mik: Thanks I’ve done that!
@Ssumin: It’s slightly different. FriendFeed has a similar widget, but its main service is to aggregate content. Retaggr doesn’t do the content, but just provides a central linking system for all your online apps. Good for those who don’t want to deal with the noise of FriendFeed!
