Great overview of web profile aggregators
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..."
