DandyID - Organize, Track and Analyze your Social Network
June 5, 2009
Over a year ago, I had the opportunity to hang out with some young startups when visiting TechStars. One of the guys was Arron Kallenberg of DandyID.org, and he let me have a test run last week of their new pro accounts. DandyID is a simple web application that allows you to organize, track and analyze your social network.
DandyID has integrated nearly 300 social networks into their system. By building out your profile and adding the social networks you are a part of, they provide a nice profile page.
This week they have released pro accounts for users that really want to understand and increase the impact of their online identity. With DandyID’s extensive API, there are several ways to share your DandyID profile with the world. When sharing your DandyID profile on other sites, DandyID provides analytics allowing you to track and analyze who is visiting your on your various social network profiles. For instance, I included my DandyID on my personal blog with their handy wordpress plugin.
Whenever someone is visiting my blog and clicks on my Twitter account I can see the results in the analytics section of my DandyID account broken down by which links are clicked (Twitter in this case), which site it was visited from (my blog) and who the visitor was (if they are a DandyID member).
The DandyID pro accounts also give you a breakdown of what social networks your DandyID contacts are using.
Lastly, of your contacts on DandyID, you can see a simple list of all the changes your contacts are making on their public profiles that they have listed on DandyID, all wrapped up in a nice RSS feed.
DandyID is a great way to keep track of all of your social networks, especially while managing a brand. I highly recommend the service, so if you want to give it whirl, go sign up for a free account today. Arron and the DandyID team are very open to users’ thoughts and suggestions. Be sure to connect with them if you have feedback.
