[...] TechCrunch points out that this is a great tool for businesses that participate in social media, as illustrated in this Josie’s Restaurant Unhub.

You make a good point Chris. Though we have noticed a trend that the non-techies are starting to adopt other profiles other than just facebook. Plus, the fact that Twitter asks for a Web link as one of its basic options really makes people think that they should have a central place to point people to.

We’ve been getting similar interesting feedback about having a personal and a professional unhub.

I like this as a general landing page for my online persona. It gives a quick way to see LinkedIn, Flickr, etc.

Could you add Smugmug to the list of sites supported? While they support vanity URLs, everyone also has a URL of the form xxxx.smugmug.com.

I love Unhub! I have a problem though, it won’t go to my website! Still trying to figure that one out.

Oh Dear… More Social Networking But This one is Just Plain Crazy!!…

First of all I would like to say that I am probably as sick of hearing about every new social network that comes out as anyone else. In fact I probably read about more of these things every day than the avera…

I think this looks like a great service. Like Ray said that everyone’s not aware of UnHub’s competition – I sure am not.
I think it would be a great idea for me to have an unhub link on my business card/work email signature, to showcase my professional profile on linkedin, my corporate website, and blog.
Similarly, an unhub link for personal contacts which I could put on my personal emails/about me pages on facebook etc.
Definitely a great way to share your relevant info with people.

wow, iFrames sure are making a comeback

good idea and implementation, I just don’t know how many would actually take the time to use it ….

those that have extensive social media profiles and need this sort of organization either have the know-how to sort out their own homepage/landingpage or resort to using a profile page on say, Digg, Twitter, Facebook to store links to their profiles

good luck to unhub tho anyways

In general, I’m glad most sites have abandoned iframes as they often make for a negative user experience. But I have seen some implementations that make sense:

- Facebook opens some articles/videos in iframes and lets users comment on them
- ginx does the same, letting you quickly reply on twitter about what was shared
- google images opens up the source webpage to let you view an image in its original context.

I think iframes can work in specific instances, but only when it makes sense w.r.t. the sites’ core purpose.

Booyah, Robin. Love to see someone called out for saying something downright useless. Although the dumber comment was @Oo The Nigerian’s comment that you sound like you either “have a special interest in the company” or “personal ‘beef’with lillywhite.”

Kinda funny, but not smart.

I like the simple elegance of what they’ve done. We (Nombray, I work with Andy) believe there is great value in this idea ourselves, as people continue to find themselves spread across different sites and mediums. Here’s my page:

UnHub’s doing a part of what my company, Nombray (http://nombray.com), does. For us, domain registration as a key part of the service, since we expect more and more people will want to “own their name” online — we help you build YourName.com as an asset you’d want to keep permanently. We also have lots of design themes; we try to make it easy for you to gather up everything about yourself, and add more via point-and-click editing. Takes just a few minutes, costs just a couple of bucks a month. Check out my site for a quick example: http://andyneuschatz.com/ .

Always interested in opinions… ideally more articulate than “this is crap”… Thanks!
