Claimid.com is a free service to help tailor your “online identity.” You can pool together personal information by “claiming” relevant content from the Internet, then share the resulting profile with others.
Google.com/profiles is a “personal branding tool” similar to ClaimID. Users set up profiles with their personal info and links to all Web content they would like associated with them—such as a Twitter feed or company website. Whenever your name is searched, your profile appears on the first page of results.
