I'm featured on the front page of the mEgo.com web site

Wow. On September 25th, 2007 I received an email from Ariel McNicol, one of the founders of mEgo to say that thay have featured my blog on their home page. It is kinda cool to see the link to my blog there - especially since I just start blogging again. It is very interesting to see the opportunities that beta testing a software can bring. I never thought it could bring more traffic to my blog and from my statistics the traffic to my blog has definitely increased. I guess that is the magic of the Internet.

How did this happen?
I installed the mEgo application in Facebook and on my blog (see the column on the right) and I am beta testing it.

What is mEgo?
It is an interesting widget that lets you post info about yourself once to each location and then you can update the info centrally (on their web site) and have it propagate to where the widget is installed automatically. No longer do you have to update several profiles about yourself. Do it once and then forget it. It stores info on various topics such as looks, personality, feeds - all the questions you are often asked to complete on every web site you have an account with. It keeps all the datad accesible from the widget which looks like an animated graphice installed in your web page.

Another interesting aspect to this widget is that when you log into your account at mEgo, you can also track the statistics of where your mEgo is being accessed from.
