CheckedProfile.com - Online Identities Made Verifiable

Something which has caused concern from the very inception of social sites is the reliability of the information found there. More precisely, people have always had qualms as regards how much they can trust the information that is found on any social network or resource.





This startup aims to inject some reputability into the whole scene by providing a platform where online and real identities come closer. In principle, through the site users can upload a profile picture of themselves, and a unique code will be given back to them. A new picture should be taken and submitted to the site, and a final picture will be returned to the user to feature as his new profile photograph, prominently featuring the code. This way, it is possible for others to verify that the person is indeed who he claims to be.

It is a good idea that has been translated into an effective service. Bearing in mind the rate at which the social web expands itself and the amount of people who are drawn to it on a daily basis alone, there is more than a clear room for something like this.
