Bigsight's Big steps

Bigsight -world's largest people directory!
Its not a social networking site.Its something different!

"People's profiles as you've never seen them before!"


A couple of month's ago i joined this site. I found this site while surfing the net.At that time it wasn't that popular.But now i think its getting popular. My name topped on Google ranking!So they are taking some steps!!They are optimizing their sites!That's good news for users!

From their site:

Building a New Standard for People Data on the Web: Much of the people-focused web is designed to engage the user for an extended period of time. This means that much of the information and activity is centered around social and playful elements. To build a lasting public directory, one must care less about user engagement than building a database that is scaleable, easy to update, and will stand the test of time. To do this, we chose to organize it around four primary data points: education (schools), interests and experiences (affiliations), work (companies and industry groups), and cities. These elements are both telling and lasting, and we have arranged them in a way that we find both interesting and aesthetically pleasing. We hope these pages thus become as commonplace as the white pages.

Personally i felt good to see my profile in that site!! I think this site is well organized!! And they are going to rock!! So why are u waiting for? Join there now! Its easy!
You can set up a BigSight profile by using your Facebook profile as a starting point and providing missing pieces like an email address. All you need to do is enter your Facebook credentials to pull the data out from Facebook.

Yawn ... No single site is ever going to be a definitive directory, let's get used to this and stop entering our personal information into every new web page that's created... We've all settled on facebook, now let's move on.

If I had a pound for every site that wanted my personal information I'd be a wealthy fellow.

The web is about enjoying the diverse entertaining content from its many creators, it's not about collecting people anymore, people are bored with being collected.

I agree with u.But i have been using Bigsight not as a social networking site.But as my "profile showing" site! If u visit my profile there u will find that my friend list is empty!At first i created my profile there out of curiosity but now i am serious about this "profile showcase"!
