Dizigot - Wikipedia for you and me.

4 points by sarul 15y ago

Dizigot allows you to create a Wikipedia style profile page for you which is open to all and helps them find you. Pool-in all your social networks links strewn all over the web to create your Virtual Business Card.

Loads of people already have a bunch of things similar to this, but more specialized. Facebook pages for friends and acquaintances; LinkedIn pages for professional networks; and of course Twitter and blogs and Github pages and who knows what else. The profiles on Digizot don't seem to offer more information than a Facebook page, and the actual text is severely truncated, which is frustrating. I think a more useful thing would automatically aggregate information from the various user profile pages people already have, and let them stick in any extra information they like. Anyway, good luck making this useful and non-annoying to use.

  pjscott..The idea behind dizigot is to let you create your virtual business card with a personal touch and links to all your other networks - Kind of like your splashpage which is accessible on google and is not closed ! Appreciate your feeback...

You should make the photos on the front page links to actual user pages or in some way make it easy to get to example profiles. I tried searching for common names (Kelly, Sarah, Tim, etc) to see what a profile looked like but eventually gave up and left the site without actually seeing one. Also, what does this offer over something like Google profiles, Facebook, or LinkedIn?

  Foob...the photos on the page are indeed linked to profiles ! Not sure why it didnt work for you...will look into that ! Google profiles would probably be the closest to what we're trying to do...Kind of like your virtual business card with social elements built into it - like people you know could add content into your wiki profile -subject to your approval of course and give you recommendations (salvos) !!!
