New Choice for Social Media Signature: Hyplet.com
By Reggie · November 5, 2008
I’ve always been a fan of the email signature. If done properly, your contacts will know exactly how to get in touch with you. But they don’t exactly have a web 2.0 flare. Sure you could list out each social network with text links, but that’s looks boring and spammy. All those links my even trigger a spam filter. Check out Hyplet.com. They’ve created a free service to help you quickly create a signature or “personal ID” for your emails, website or blog. The service is similar concept to Retaggr but Hyplet offers much more customization.
Hyplet’s personal ID’s come in a variety of shapes and colors. Easily make modifications with drag and drop tools, even rearrange all contact information including phone, email, Skype, IM, Facebook, Flickr, Delicious, Twitter, your blog and others with the text editor. I did run into a small issue when using Firefox to customize my personal ID. In Firefox I was not able to apply formatting like bold or increase font size. I tried the same tasks in Internet Explorer and it worked fine.
In regards to compatibility, I’ve only used Hyplet with Outlook. Although, Hyplet says their ID’s work in many applications such as Gmail, Hotmail & IncrediMail.

It’s too bad all the good website names are gone. This is a nice little widget, but do I really want all my links associated with the word “hype.”
Do you recommend using it for a business, or does it look really unprofessional? Seems like a great idea so people can clearly see all your networks in a nice manner, hopefully they will fix the bugs in Firefox.

Reggie,
Thanks for the tip. That looks awesome!

Thanks for the tip Reggie. Inspired by you, I have set up a social network for our company agents to discuss their technology needs.
