The UnHub Home Page

If you’re actively promoting your expertise, marketing your products or executing public relations campaigns through social media sites, you’ve probably collected a number of public profiles on the internet. 

The larger your collection of profiles gets, the more difficult it is to let your friends and contacts know how to follow your activities.  Link lists become long and difficult to manage, your email signature gets real ugly and your business cards become obsolete before they are printed.  Worst of all, keeping your fans and followers connected becomes progressively more difficult the more active you become.

Well, I think I may have found a sweet little solution in the form of a new (March 2009) web utility called UnHub.

Designed by Vin Vacanti and Jim Moran of Yipit fame and inspired by the Skittles web site, UnHub allows you to integrate all of your web profiles, blogs, web sites and just about anything else you like under a single URL but it’s not just a list of links.  Your UnHub address actually displays each of your web profiles in your visitor’s browser window with a simple click of your UnHub “Profile Bar”.  Check out Barak Obama’s UnHub site!

Setting up an UnHub account is easy and takes only minutes to complete.  You are in complete control of the addresses you list with UnHub and you can arrange them in any order you wish.  In addition, you can define one profile as “Home” which causes it to be viewed first by any visitors to your UnHub site.  Perhaps most important of all, UnHub URL formats are short and easy to remember (www.unhub.com/username). 

I’ve been using UnHub for about a week and I’ve discovered an unexpected fringe benefit, my UnHub account drives traffic to all of my web presences!  In fact, it has become my third most important referrer on this blog.

UnHub.  Its light weight, easy to set up, easy to use and best of all, it’s free!  What more could you ask?
