Do you nomee? (or my new job)

Some of you already know this, but I've been waiting to post the news until I had something to show. With the new year ahead of me, I decided it was time to get out of consulting and back into product development; this time with a company called nomee. What can I say, I like product development.

What is nomee you ask? What is that thing on the side of my blog? First let me say, Nomee is not another social website. It's a tool, built with Adobe AIR, to organize and monitor them all.

If you think about it, if you put all of the websites you've signed up, and everything you've posted about yourself together -- you've created a virtual brand for yourself. Wouldn't it be cool if there was a way to control what part of that online brand people see? facebook for friends, linked-in for co-workers, etc.. Add in the annoying problem of trying to stay on top of all of these sites and all of your friends. How many hours a day/week do you spend going to different sites to see if anything has changed; or have you given up?

These are the problems we are solving with Nomee. With nomee:

• You can control what things about yourself that you want to share with others.
• You can follow your friends. Nomee can monitor over 100 different websites. When your friends do things online you are alerted, then you can decide if you care and want to open the item or if you want to ignore it.
• You can stay in touch. Nomee keeps your contact information synchronized with your friends and families. When they need to know your new phone number - they look in nomee. When they need your new address - they look in nomee.
• You can publish yourself. like I have on this blog, or my facebook page. On the right you'll see my public nomee card (they can be public or private).
