MeVu is an online presence “helper”. It allows you to create a page, with your own personal URL, and include links to all of the sites on which you have a profile. First you need create categories to organize your links, and then you can start adding the URLs of all of the sites you belong to. These categories can be for anything – for example, you could create a “social networking” category and include your MySpace and facebook profiles. I came across MeVu today after creating a screencast for gleeme, and they are actually very similar services. The difference with MeVu is that you can add whatever types of sites that you want. Gleeme only allows you to add sites that are listed in their directory. While gleeme makes it easier for you to create your page, it doesn’t allow you to add just any old site the way that MeVu does. Here’s my screencast tour of MeVu:

Gleeme gives you a way to share all of your online profiles, from the different networks you belong to, in one place.  It’s called a vcard, and it can contain as much or as little information about you and your online life.  All you need to do to get started is enter in your username for the various networks included in the gleeme index.  You can also include various IM accounts, a map, and contact information.  All of this is stored in one spot and you’ll receive your own URL as well as a gleeme ID.  People that know your gleeme ID can go to gleeme.com and enter it in to access your vcard.  You can also order a cute pocket stamp with your gleeme ID on it and stamp the back of your business cards, a cocktail napkin, someones forehead, whatever.  Here’s my screencast tour of gleeme:
