Retaggr allows you to create a virtual business card, that you can put almost anywhere on the web, and share all of your web activity, in one organized location. Your profile card contains any information you wish to share because it’s all customizable. You can add your social networking sites like Facebook and LinkedIn, your microblogging services like Twitter and Tumblr, video sites, photo sharing sites – anything you can think of. The best part is that all you need to do is enter in your username for these sites and if you have a lot of them enabled in friendfeed, retaggr will automatically add them for you. Besides websites, you can also add any sort of widget to your profile card, all you need is the URL or HTML code. One thing I really like about retaggr is the way this information is presented. Every service you add is represented by an icon on your card and when someone clicks on it, they can view your information without leaving your card. If you add the email icon, people can email you right from your profile card. It’s all pretty much self-contained.
A couple of other features are useful to website and blog owners because it allows them to find out more about their visitors and allows visitors that are retaggr users to sort of participate in the site. If you retaggr enable your site, any time another retaggr user leaves a comment, a little information “i” will appear next to their name. When you or another visitor hovers over it, they’ll see the retaggr profile card. There’s also photo tagging available, so any time a retaggr visitor comes to your site and sees someone they know in a photo, they can draw a little box around them and add their name. Unfortunately I couldn’t find any sites with photos that were retaggr enabled, so I couldn’t test that feature out. Here’s my screencast tour of retaggr:
