Prove your personal identity and claim ownership over your online assets

The development team at PeoplePond has been kicking it recently and now you get to see the results of their late nights and early mornings.

It’s so easy for someone to put up accounts on social media sites, free blog publishing platforms, etc. and pretend to be you. If you have a personal brand that you’ve invested years to develop, such behavior should scare the living !@#$ out of you. It doesn’t take much to destroy even the strongest personal brand when followers don’t have an authenticated center point that is independently verifiable.

Now you can create that trusted center point to provide your followers with your PeoplePond profile. Our users who subscribe to PeoplePond’s Identity Verification Package will discover two very exciting features are now available:

1. Personal Identity Verification
While there are many services that will enable you to verify that you own a specific account in an online service, they fall short of identifying you. It doesn’t do me, your follower, any good to see that “you” own an account at a social media site when I’m not sure “you” is really you. You can now provide that assurance to your followers with PeoplePonds Indentity Verification service. Utilizing an independent third-party to perform an instant background search we are able to provide you a very detailed multiple choice list of questions to answer. You’ll see when you take this test that it can be hard for you to answer these questions about you, so you can imagine how impossible it would be for someone to try to get through it if they’re not you.

Once you’ve successfully proven your identity, the badge on your PeoplePond profile will reflect that. We’ll soon enable you to place this badge on your blog or other locations to provide the confidence your followers need wherever they find you.

2. Online Service Authentication
Now that you have proven your personal identity, there is real value in claiming ownership over your online identity. We begun enabling you to claim your accounts and demonstrate that on your PeoplePond profile. We’re just getting started but here are some services you can now verify your identity on:

• AIM/AOL
• Brightkite
• Cliqset
• Facebook
• Flickr
• FriendFeed
• Get Satisfaction
• MySpace
• Picasa
• TripIt
• TwitPic
• Twitter
• YouTube 

The process is simple. Log into your PeoplePond profile and click the “Verify Services” button. Then click the button for the service you want to verify your account with and confirm to that service that you want to provide PeoplePond access to confirm your account. And if you haven’t already added the service to your profile, it will be done automatically for you.

We will be adding more and more services to this list very soon and ultimately you will be able to authenticate your identity for just about every place your online identity extends to.

This is all very exciting for us to provide to you. PeoplePond is the only service I’ve seen that combines these two verification services into a single platform, all while increasing the visibility and exposure for your brand in the most positive light.

Upgrade your profile with the Identity Verification Service today. You’ll also discover that you’ll get the all the benefits of the PeoplePond SEO package included as well. That’s a lot for less than $10 a month.
