What Sites Would You Like To See on the "Also On" MeFi Feature?
The "Also On" feature is a way to share your activity on other social sites ("Hey everyone, I'm also mathowie at Flickr and here's a link to my profile!). The social app icons on your MeFi user page link to your public user account page on other systems. Here are some quick rules for submitting a Social App for consideration:
- The service must be a social network where other MetaFilter members can join and connect with you.
- The service must have a page that is a close approximation of "you" in the system. A profile page or a stream of your output is required.
- Please include a working link to a profile/output page when you add a suggestion.
- The service and linked page must be human-readable (no RSS) and available to the public without a login.
Social App Suggestions
Add your suggestions here.
- Sample Entry -- Description of site, Working profile page
- Steepster -- Ravelry-like community for tea drinkers to rate and discuss tea and possibly set up swaps, Working profile page for user "ifjuly"
- Newsblur -- Social RSS site, Working profile page for user "polpo"
- Hacker News -- Programming and startup discussion community, Working profile page for user "michaelhoffman"
- ResearchGate -- Scientific Research social community, Working profile page for user "Michael_Hoffman2"

Needs Clarification
- HowAboutWe -- Dating site focused on suggesting specific dates. http://howaboutwe.com/users/####
- Please add a link to a working profile page at HowAboutWe. (I can't find any obvious examples at the home page.)
- SmugMug -- http://smarx.smugmug.com/hack/feed.mg?Type=nicknameRecentPhotos&Data=smarx&format=rss200
- The example here is an RSS feed. Do they have standard profile pages? If so, please add to current suggestions above.
- MetaTalk Discussion about Smugmug (Jan 9, 2011)
- Worth1000 -- http://www.worth1000.com/stories/stats.asp?uid=#####
- Working profile example?
- Netflix Recent Rentals -- http://rss.netflix.com/TrackingRSS?id=##### (Netflix users find their ### here)
- This is an RSS feed. Does Netflix have public profile pages?
Past Suggestions
- Pottermore -- The Harry Potter site
- Requires a login to see profile pages.
- Diaspora -- Open source, privacy-aware social network, hermitosis's profile page
- No consistant domain for URLs. It's a distributed system and there's no central URL structure for profile pages. See the MetaTalk thread for details.
- MetaTalk discussion about Diaspora (Nov 29, 2011)
- Pinterest
- Currently in private beta. Please repost when it's open to the public.
- Stack Exchange
- We already have Stack Overflow and these are distinct from Stack Exchange. If Stack Overflow makes these Exchanges profile The One True Profile to rule them all we'll add it. It's unclear how they're used right now.
- Kaboodle
- Doesn't seem heavily used right now. Not sure there's enough crossover with MetaFilter.
- Bloglines -- http://www.bloglines.com/public/dzho
- Bloglines isn't the sort of service people contribute content to, so there isn't much of a profile here.
- Other language Wikipedias -- http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gebruiker:Paul079
- 75% of MeFi members browse from the US. Adding all of Wikipedia's country options will clutter without finding many connections.
- ClaimID -- http://claimid.com/username
- There's no profile here that I can find. Please re-add above with a working profile URL if they have profile pages.
- Ravelry -- http://www.ravelry.com/people/elizawrites
- Unfortunately, Ravelry requires a login to view a profile page.
- MetaTalk discussion about Ravelry (Nov 20, 2010)
- National Novel Writing Month -- http://www.nanowrimo.org/eng/user/usernumber
- Only active a few months out of the year, no?
- iusethis -- http://osx.iusethis.com/user/username
- Interesting sharing app, but not a social network.
- Muxtape -- http://jessamyn.muxtape.com
- Out of business right now, and not really a social network.
- eMusic The profile page url is www.emusic.com/profile/index.html?nickname=username
- Sample Profile -- http://www.emusic.com/profile/index.html?nickname=Smackfu
- Requires a login to see the profile.
- Diaspora - http://joindiaspora.com/people/usernumber (can also be formatted as username@joindiaspora.com)
- Requires a login to see the profile.
- Flavors.me - http://flavors.me/username
- Single page with links to other social networks, but not a network on its own.
- 6 Minute Story - http://sixminutestory.com/profile/osbornec3
- Neat idea, but not much of a network.
