Social Network User Mapper
What is it?
Social Network User Mapper (SNUM) is a Firefox add-on that will tell you what social networks a user belongs to while browsing the web.

How does it work?
Here is an example: You are viewing someone’s twitter page. With the extension installed, it will automatically tell you what other social networks a user belongs to in the status bar of the browser:
You then right click to get a list of the networks, and left click to navigate to the site:
You can also right click the icon and get additional info:
The add-on utilizes dandyId to perform the reverse lookup. If the user has not set up a dandyId account, the Google Social Graph api is then used. The results of the Google api can vary, so it is better to define your own identity by creating a dandyId.

How does it really work?
It recognizes a social network site and strips out the username in the url. It then utilizes the dandyId api to lookup the user’s other social networks. If the user does not have a dandyId, the Google Social Graph api is used.

This is great, Jim! It’s been submitted to our API contest. Great use of reverse lookup!

Love the concept
Obviously, DandyID needs to get more traction for it to be truly useful (i.e. get to a stage where the majority of those on multiple sites have a DandyID profile) but it looks good.

Thanks for checking it out! I agree DandyId does need some more acceptance, but it sure does make tools like SNUM easier. I was thinking about looking into Google’s social api to fill in the gaps…

Good Idea, I think I have seen a graphical version of this idea too somewhere … but this is simple and smart …
