Just wanted to post to let people know that Profilactic is still alive and well. We've got some things brewing back at the Profilactic lair, but nothing that we are ready to roll out yet.

Some of the upcoming improvements include search (and other cool ways to find members who are like you), better mashup management/setup tools and improved performance of the mashup and the friends' mashup.

We're shooting for mid to late March for these enhancements so stay tuned (and keep the feedback coming on what else you'd like to see).

The Museum of Modern Betas tracks the most anticipated web app betas based on del.icio.us bookmarks. We are currently sitting at #17 with 70 bookmarks. Not sure why we're on the list, which was updated on February 17th, since we're in public beta now. Interesting to see that 70 people bothered to bookmark us, though.

I generally don't pay too much attention to web press releases or top 10 lists... unless we're on them.

BeeTooBee.com "tabulated 287 Web 2.0 start-ups in the Company Review forum at TechCrunch posted in the past 40 days to reveal the 2007 Web 2.0 Idol."

Here is an excerpt from the release.

The 2007 Web 2.0 Idol (for now) is:

1. Si-Mi: YouTube environment to sell multimedia content. Si-Mi’s profile was viewed 33% more than the next runner up. Si-Mi even beat out iJigg, which was profiled on that most prime of start-up free PR real estate, the front page of TechCrunch.com

Runners-up:

2. iJigg: Digg for music sharing where visitors vote on songs and the most popular make it to the front page

3. Send2: Adding office productivity like calendaring to SMS

4. listpic: Craigslist remix to pull all classfieds with pictures and aggregate them in one place

5. TWiki: Wiki collaboration technology for the enterprise

6. JobCoin: Embed syndicated job classifieds in blogs and websites

7. HotPads: Mashup to find rental properties in local markets

8. eroticr: Erotic pictures and videos popularity-ranked by visitors

9. Profilactic: Nothing to do with condoms. Centralize all your social network accounts and related content

10. ViralVideos: Daily aggregation of the most popular videos from the major video sharing sites

I find it interesting that none of the digital lifestyle aggregators that Tech Crunch has profiled made the list.

Frank Gruber has a nice round-up of all of the sites in the profile aggregation space including Profilactic. A really balanced look at what each service has to offer.

Here is what he says about us:

"Profilactic calls its profile aggregation a "mashup" as it pulls together everything about you into a single stream of information from each of your profile sources. Profilactic makes it easy to add all of your favorite social networks or any other individual site that offers a feed. Profilactic’s user-interface is clean and lays out information in easy to read oversized fonts. Profilactic’s includes some social networking hooks which allow you to add friends and share your mashups with one another. Another interesting feature is the "Clippings" feature which allows users to add links to articles or pictures that you are in that are not accounted for in other profiles. Check out my profile as a sample of what the profile mashup looks like."

And in the summary, he adds:

"In looking at all the options, I found Spokeo to be the most interesting web profile aggregator. Profilactic offered the best looking user interface and I liked the way it creates a sharable “real-time” mashup of all of your profiles. Lijit’s layout and network search emphasis offers great utility..."

The story has also made it onto digg. You can check that out here.
