In receiving another invite from a colleague on Plaxo I wondered if anyone else had the frustration that comes from too many digital persona’s….

In summary, there are too many email addresses (work, home - via blog name, new service provider, old service provider, old company, new mobile phone company, Yahoo, Hotmail, Gmail etc etc….).

So what I’d like is a service that redirects ( like the Post Office for physical mail) but kills any spam, and provides my contacts with updates. Plaxo kind of meets the bill but the key is less about the web based services (that can be partially fixed by just using your email client), and more about the fixed emails with internet service providers that you cut off when you change provider. Potentially a service could be created that forwards the mail to an address you nominate, provides an auto update service to contacts that you have provided, and halts some of the dead traffic currently hitting ISP’s. Sounds good for all parties…

Social and online profile information is another area - in creating and managing your own digital brand, there is a bit of work to do if you use a couple of areas eg your blog, Facebook, Linked In, Plaxo, Myspace etc etc. Whilst it will take some time for the smoke to clear and rationalization to occur in this area, mashing up a consistent means of keeping digital profiles consistent will help. Likely scenario? 1. Lots of half started blogs, profiles and more, and 2. a select few will emerge that just seem easier than others to keep current - and make it more fun to keep current and up to date.

Whilst I’m on the wish list, I’d love an easy way to consistently sync my work and home tasks, contacts and calender with my mobile - current technology mix is Outlook on Windows at work, Mac at home and Windows Mobile (dopod) pda to give me the choice of using which machine I want to anytime I want and keeping it all current. Publishing calenders is one way… but will do some searching on this to see what I can find.

For you road warriors out there, let me know what is working for you…

Feeling iPhone envy? Yes, not release in Australia just yet….

However, while you are waiting, why not jazz up your Windows Mobile with a fantastic application from Pointui. You can also check it in action at Utube

I have downloaded it onto my Dopod D810 and it works great. There is some getting used to the finger movement in the menus and also it dives into the Windows Mobile interface for applications and not always easy to get straight back - but with practice it should be fine.

Pointui is available for FREE download so give it a go
