One of the greatest developments in the world of social networking is logging on with external accounts. This Friday MINDZ.com is making a big leap in the online world! It will be possible to log on and register on MINDZ.com with more than 10 accounts from other Internet services and providers. It will now be easier to log on and register but in addition it will make your account information multi-usable and more easily transferable from one Internet service to the other.

This development will allow you to use your account information from Google, Windows Live, Yahoo, Facebook, Hyves, Wordpress, MySpace, OpenID, Flickr, Blogger and Netlog to log on and register on the MINDZ.com website.

How does it work? Given the fact that you are a MINDZ.com user, from this Friday on you will have more opportunities to log on; you can do so using your MINDZ-profile, but you can also log on using one of the abovementioned providers.

If you haven’t registered with MINDZ.com yet, it is possible to link user profiles; MINDZ.com will automatically transfer the existing data from your profile on the external website. Because MINDZ.com imports the information is directly, registration will no longer require all your personal details and can be completed in a heartbeat. The only personal information that will be transferred from your other service provider will be the public information that you have provided to that service. Your public profile information will only be shared with MINDZ.com if you have public information on your profile at the external facilitator.

It is even more convenient that when you will be logged on to one of the networks, MINDZ.com will recognize that you are active online at a different location. When you authenticate that you would like to log on with the profile of that external network, you will no longer be required to fill in a password because you will be logged on directly!

Both functionalities create a better oversight. On the long term it will no longer be necessary to create a new profile with every new internet service you are going to use, but you will be able to log on to a new service with your information from another existing account on another service.

These flexible exchanges of profile information between services create interaction between the different platforms on which you are active. This enables you to manage and link your own network – on different locations- with even more ease. Your online identity will be more concise and manageable too!
