ArtistServer has integrated the services of http://SocialNetwork.in, a profile aggregator, to display links to all your profiles in the side bar of your site.

Just visit and join SocialNetwork.in (for free), then add links to your profiles at each social network and site you use, then return to ArtistServer, and add your SocialNetwork.in profile name to your profile in the My Account area. Once you are done, you will see all your profile links on your site.

To the right, is a screenshot of the "Profile Widget" from my site: http://www.artistserver.com/sonicwallpaper

And here is a link to my profile at SocialNetwork.in: http://socialnetwork.in/index.cfm/member/gideonmarken - my SocialNetwork.in profile name is: gideonmarken

Who or What is SocialNetwork.in?  

It's a site I launched in January of this year to serve as a "profile aggregator" - which means, it's a site which helps you pull together your many profiles on the Web. Currently, the site supports over 100 social networks, community sites, and other Web sites which provide a profile.  If you'd like a site added to SocialNetwork.in, make sure it meets the basic criteria:
  • The Name of the site - example: Site Name
  • The full URL to the site - example: www.sitename.com
  • A link to a user/member URL on the site - example: http://www.sitename.com/ProfileName

You do have the option of adding profiles and links to other people's profiles as "private" links, although these links will only be available to you on the SocialNetwork.in site.

Why do you want all your profiles linked together?

This helps people connect to you, when they see that you are on some other site, the site visitor may click on the profile link and visit you there. If they are on that site too, they may add a link to you or add you as a friend.  With this tool, you'll greatly increase your cross-site networking and begin driving more traffic around to all your profiles. Start thinking about your 'core' profile, and not about having dozens of identities scattered around the Web - this tool helps make this happen, not only here, but any site that selects to adopt the SocialNetwork.in API.

Why signup at SocialNetowork.in?

Because the services it offers can be 'plugged in' and used at any Web site, which would allow you to benefit from greater levels of integration with the sites you use.

For example, lets say you are a member of SocialNetwork.in, and you are a member of Flickr.com - then you go out and join some new social/travel site that uses SocialNetwork.in's API to connect to our data and your profiles. By adding your SocialNetwork.in profile name to your account on the new site, they can now locate your photos and display them on your new profile without you having to reupload or import them in.

What is an API?

An API is an acronym for "Application Programming Interface." API's are VERY cool because they allow developers to connect to different sites and services and utilize the data and information in their own applications. You may have heard of the term "Mashup" being used on the Web - this relates to the process of connecting to at least one API and blending your own data with the data being offered by the API.  For example, all the various maps you see on the Web which display various types of data or photos or icons, etc are usually "Map Mashups" that use either Google or Yahoo Maps API.

Enjoy!

Oh... BTW... ArtistServer and IndieMobile now have 250 free Mp3/Realtone Ringtones available for download. All ringtones are provided by the artists at ArtistServer.com
