App I’d like to see: LilSquare.com

An app I’d like would be one to sync my avatar across multiple social services. Twitter or Facebook seem to be the master that services like instagram use when you create your profile, but with more people making statements via profile via (like @orenjacob’s about SOPA below), it would be cool to syndicate across more services.

I call the idea “Lil Square” because you update your “little squares” all over the internet.

The domains would be lilsquare.com and lilsqua.re which are both available. I always use domai.nr to test domain names and find out short ones. It’s a really useful tool and they have a smart affiliate model with the domain registrars based on you finding names you like.

I guess this is similar to Gravatar, but would still be pretty useful.

The business model would be to let people promote tasks virally and have promoted “layers” on pictures. Whether that’s against SOPA, or turning your profile pictures green to support Iran elections, it an a cool, awareness platform that can be used across all your posts. It’s essentially a way to advertise something across all your services and all your posts (not just create individual posts for something).

So instead of just liking “Bud Light Platinum” on Facebook, you could “Change your profile with LilSquare to Bud Light Platinum for a free hat”. There are lots of impressions across all your posts (and your previous ones) on all your services with this new logo. It would definitely draw attention and whether movement or advertising, it would be powerful.

This would be “promoted layers” as well as a tool for brands/activists etc… to have followers show support by using the tool.

If someone makes this app, let me know, I’ll be a user.
