This is part of a series of posts that is covering every social media/social networking site on the web. 

Plaxo

The leading smart address book, Plaxo unifies your contacts across sources, proactively updates contact info, and syncs your complete address book.

What Does That Mean For You?

You can sync all of your contact information for all of your friends and family onto Plaxo but you can also create a personal profile.  After you sign up for an account go over to the top right hand corner where it shows your name and click on Share your Contact Card.

You can then create a custom URL where I recommend using your first and last name (ie. http://caseycamilleri.myplaxo.com)

Under My Information fill out your name, add a photo of yourself, where you work, your job title, a bio of yourself, and the link information for your Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn.

Pro Tip:  All of these profiles should already be set up and focused on your full name.

You can see how clean this is from a user prospective and also from a professional prospective.  Also Google loves this so it can show your profiles on your search string when you Google yourself.

This matters a lot when you are job searching. Keeping your social profiles clean and consistent is key.
