Remember that post about Retaggr? How you can use it to help maintain your online identity and consolidate your online services?
I was having problems with embedding the html signature into my Gmail and was going to Google for a solution at a later date, but Nik dropped by from Retaggr and saved me all that trouble, with a working solution to boot.
What happens after that?
First of all, Retaggr propels itself right up there with the list of brand/companies who are listening. Which is a big thing to someone like me.
Secondly, they transform from a nameless, shapeless online service, to one that has initiated an engagement with me. I know that if I have problems or suggestions, they’ll listen, and I’m definitely more interested in their upcoming developments than I was a few blog posts ago.
Wouldn’t you want your consumers to feel that way about your product/service/company/brand?

You 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.
