Naymz

Someone sent me an invitation to Naymz, an online identity aggregator. Not thinking too much about it, I clicked on the link, signed up and let it send out some invitations on my behalf. (If you received an invitation from me, you can ignore it if you like).

Maybe I should have spent a little more time poking around. Although the UI experience is fine, it sends you down the path to upgrade to a paid account early and often. And it's both refreshing, and a little disturbing, that the first entry in the FAQ is "How do I delete my profile?". I was really tempted to just cancel my account when I saw that.

What Naymz provides is a way to aggregate personal online content so that it's easier for someone to find you. But I can already be found pretty easily via Google or Live Search. Do I really need Naymz?
