« How to transfer 5GB of songs from one PC to another, really, really quickly | Main | iTripping in search of the dead zone »

I don't usually catch much daytime radio. But driving around the other day to roadtest Griffin's RoadTrip iPod car accessory (more of which tomorrow), I caught Jim Mora's afternoon show on Radio New Zealand National. Guests Helen and Chelfyn Baxter, of Mohawk Media name-checked a groovy little service called Naymz. In brief, Namyz pulls your blog, YouTube, Flickr, social networking and other posts from various corners of the web, then assembles them into a personalised home page.

Other services do a similar thing, but Naymz also buys Google Ad Words, promoting your personal Naymz site toward the top of a potential employer/stalker/curious bystanders Google search for your name. I'm wondering what's in it for Naymz. From the site's privacy statement, it looks like it sells demographic data about it's users, and to get its "Premium Service" (including search engine results that promote your own name more than Naymz, plus profile of people who check out your profile) costs $US4.95 a month.
