Are you a social media maven?
Do you have a Facebook page, a Twitter account, are you on Plaxo and LinkedIn?
If so, you're going to love Retaggr.
What Retaggr isn't is another social network. It's a consolidation site - a place where you create a page that links to all your other social networking sites - a distillation, if you will, of all your "online selves."
What you're going to do is create a profile card. Says Retaggr:
On enabled sites, when you leave a comment, for example, your card will be left behind as well, allowing others to view your various (public only) profiles. You can also embed your card on your blogs, or create a signature complete with your various social networking links.
The key to using Retaggr successfully is to select an identity that you actually want to publicize - this means, you start with an email at which people might actually contact you. The jury is still out on spam and marketing - I don't know about you, but I've already been marketed to via Facebook "friends," and I've learned to be a lot more careful whom I befriend.

What you're going to do is create a profile card. Says Retaggr:
- Your profile card is like your business card for the web, except so much more!
- Aside from your name, bio, and links to your websites, you can add widgets to your card which will be visible to anyone that views your card.
- What kind of widgets? Recent blog posts, recent tweets from twitter, recent photos, the ability to communicate via MSN/Gtalk/Skype, and more
