Anyone can enjoy the celebrity status of identity verification
Before now, you had to be a celebrity to enjoy online identity verification. Maybe you’ve seen it on Justin Timberlake‘s Twitter profile or maybe Kristin Bell‘s (who, by the way, recently discovered someone attempting to hijack her identity on Twitter). But no more.
You can now protect yourself from identity hijacking and provide your followers with the confidence that you are who you say you are. PeoplePond has introduced the first opportunity to verify your complete online identity. There have been other solutions offered up in the past but they’ve always been lacking the most crucial element, verification of you.
Just because there’s an online profile, social media account or blog and with a person’s name on it doesn’t mean that’s really the person in control of the account. For people looking for advice online or employers and trade partners looking to learn more about a potential employee or vendor, not knowing exactly who is represented where has been a serious concern.
The new PeoplePond service enables you to prove who you are and then display confirmation of your personal identity verification right on your PeoplePond profile alongside your online identity (the places online where you publish).
You can refer your followers to your PeoplePond profile for proof of your identity. As part of this identity verification service, you can also authenticate ownership over the online locations where you publish (social media sites, blogs, social networking sites, etc.).
Stay tuned for more announcements about additional tools, plugins and widgets for promoting your verified identity in the near future.
