About a year ago or so, I got the idea for a site that would allow me to keep up with all of the various "Web 2.0" and "social networking" sites that I had joined. I had accounts with Flickr, del.icio.us, Blogger, YouTube, Vimeo, Digg, MySpace, Spout, la la, Instructables, LinkedIn, Yahoo!, GameSpot, TV.com, AVS Forum, 43 Things... you get the idea. Trying to keep up with all of the sites, profiles and the content I was producing was getting out of hand really quickly.

The original, basic idea was for a site that would allow you to list all of your online profiles and the links to the associated content (like your Flickr photos or your YouTube videos).

After sketching out a few rough pages and convincing myself that I had a pretty decent idea, I decided to see if anyone else had thought of it. I did a couple of Google searches and found sites that were doing things that were *almost* like what I was thinking (ClaimID and openID were in the same ballpark). Then, I ran through Emily Chang's list of Web 2.0 startups and came up empty as well.

At this point, I wasn't sure if I had a kickass idea that no one had thought of yet or just a lame idea that no one thought was worth building. Being pretty full of myself, I chose the former.
