Share your entire 2.0 universe in one widget

Web 2.0 has spread us out all over the galaxy.

We have our Digg account, our Technorati account, we are in Facebook, Bebo, Reddit, del.icio.us, Netvibes, Blogs and on and on and on …

How do we keep track of it all? Well, one cool way would be to have a simple all-in-one widget that lists our 2.0 universe. You’d click one site in the list and there you go.

This is where the ShareYourself widget by Dustin Bachrach comes in. It does all of this PLUS your friends can see it and use it wherever you choose to put it.

Check out this list of where you can upload this widget: MySpace, Friendster, Facebook, Orkut, Bebo, Tagged, Blogger, hi5, Live Space, Piczo, Freewebs, LiveJournal, BlackPlanet, myYearbook, WordPress, Vox, TypePad, Xanga, Multiply, iGoogle, Netvibes Pageflakes, MiGente, OR embed (copy/paste) the code wherever you want. That list is SWEET!

And bloggers- here’s another way you can have your readers check you out and connect with you in other places.
Pros:

• Installs in a breeze
• Can include more than 20 of your 2.0 links, including your blog
• Can add your own customized 2.0 link, if it’s not in the list
• Can upload your widget to more than 20 social sites.
• Only one small, unobtrusive share link at the bottom

Cons:

• Embeddable code is large
• Links open in same window, not a new window (this is fixable in the embedded code, if you want)

Coolness factor: 4/5
Engine required: None. Either upload to a social site, and/or embed the code into any Web page.
