Use your domain with Orkut profile!
This is something which I’ve always wanted to do or preffered that if the social network services offered this services directly. Unfortunately, NO SOCIAL NETWORK (there are so many out there) offers such a service. What I am talking about here is that if Social Networks could offer the users to specify or link the domain name directly with their social network profile.
The reason or why it makes sense :
1. Social Network profile is more like a personal webpage : Everyone will agree that Social network profile is more like a personal webpage, where you’ve got information about you, your friends and family. You get to upload your photos, videos and with some networks you can have your own blog too. So, it makes sense if I can point my personal domain name (mayankgupta.com to my social network profile) and thus ask friends and family members to use that domain directly.
2. It is much easier to remember : Of course it is much easier to remember the profile name if it’s associated with the domain, rather than remembering those strange and long profile addresses. There are cases, when you search for friend’s family from that long list of friends, in this case you just have to put the URL of the person and you get the profile directly!
I like the benefits but what are the work around to use your domain name with various social network profiles ?
Well, I’m not the one who’s found out this trick. It’s Sankar Anand, who found out this cool trick which can redirect the profile from a webpage to your profile of social network. In case you find any other tricks, then share it with us. In case, you face any problem or have any question, feel free to share it in the comments section.
I hope that this post is read by the social network builders i.e. Myspace, Orkut, Facebook or Bebo. I think that if not all but Orkut who have recently started the blog and have been chosen as the best social network of India, should listen to this request of mine :)
