ProfileLinker was highlighted on TechCrunch yesterday. Comments on the TC post compare it to Profilactic; however, like Spokeo or FindMeOn, ProfileLinker is not like Profilactic at all.

While it is great to be mentioned by readers of TechCrunch, it is a bit frustrating to be lumped in with sites like ProfileLinker, Spokeo and FindMeOn that are taking totally different approaches to digital life management.

Here is what I posted on TC as a response to that comparison:

"Drew, it is slightly similar to Profilactic; however, after signing up for the beta of ProfileLinker, I can tell you that they are really not much alike.

ProfileLinker is simply grouping profiles. Not that interesting IMNSHO. There needs to be a content angle as well if you want other people to care about viewing these pages. Also, they seem to limit you to a set of social networkings [I hate when I misspell stuff in comments!], rather than letting you create your own links.

Profilactic, on the other hand, allows you to group all of your profiles. But it also mashes up all of the content you create on all of those sites. It allows you to bookmark things about you from around the web. And it allows you to connect with friends and pull together all of their content, too.

We’re rolling out tweaks to the beta this weekend that will update the UI, an advantage I think we have over ProfileLinker, FindMeOn and Spokeo (no offense, guys), and add a couple of new features.

Maybe once we open the beta to the public, people will be able to see for themselves.
