My Design Should Follow Me; “First Dibs” on my username
July 9, 2008 | 1 Comment
On Twitter, you can customize how your profile design appears to other users. It personalizes my page on Twitter to others.
All services I’m on should allow this — well, at least the ones that are similar [microblogging; blogging; myspace; etc].
I think it’d be great if there was a centralized storage of my simple design attributes [colors; bg image; etc] that web services could tap into, to immediately personalize their service to me.
It’d be great if I also could get “first dibs” on the usernames I like to use on web services. [This could be a service that I pay $5/yr for, or whatever, and they’ll email me each day/week when they secure a login for me –for my preferred username– at some new web service. Maybe MyBlogLog or FriendFeed would do this for me, because they’d likely know whether or not I have an account already with the “new” web service].
