			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Weekly Naymz mails me a visitor tracking report. It is part of their premium service. Considering the low costs of the premium subscription and the delivered services I think Naymz deserves more praise in the reviews. Even if it was only for the domain, I think it would be worth it. Considering the extra services that are provided i can hardly understand why Naymz get such a bad press by people who hardly know how it works. Getting that message across is quite a challenge for the Naymz marketing effort.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The more i get into it the more i like Naymz and the way it is set up. If the critics only realized what they can do with their My Naymz domain. Personally I like the option to describe ones web activity and integrate the RSS feeds of your blog(s) and other stuff. This makes your page a representative all-in-one directory. Considering the little money they charge for obtaining that domain I think more people should stand up and blow the whistle. The emphasis in the blogosphere on the invites is in my opinion somewhat overacted. My advice: give Naymz a try !!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Although the initial postings on this blog were in the dutch language my future posts will be in English.  Main goal of this blog is to guide the reader as an independent informationspecialist by assessing the critics and the praises. At the same time I will share as a Naymz user my own learning experience. </p>
<p>While there are other services like Naymz I personally think Naymz has a strong competitive advantages.</p>
<p>It cannot be denied that Naymz &#8217;spamming practice&#8217; is heavily criticized in the blogosphere. This buzz is not without reason. Looking at Naymz FAQ&#8217;s learnt me however that the sender of the invites can stop any further reminders by deleting the list of invitees after the initial invite. If users act accordingly this will diminish the annoyance for a great deal .</p>
<p>Why am I doing this? For Smartmobs I blog on technologies of cooperation with a special interest in developments on the evolution of reputation.  I was triggered by the Naymz concept and decided to take a close look at the services.  It is my intention to learn from what others say about it and will give you my own experience to keep you posted.  </p>

I read in the FAQ&#8217;s that the person that invites can remove the list of invitees. When you do that right after the first invite your friends won&#8217;t be bothered with what they obviously consider spam. If everyone that invited someone else removes the invitees in their account and do this by expiring the pending invitation before the mentioned date of expiration this would make a hell of a difference. So it is also the invitees choice to allow Naymz to send reminders. I assume that few who invite are aware of this. </p>

Als Joost op de linkpagina had gekeken dan had hij gezien dat deze referentie vermeld staat bij de kritische reakties op Naymz. Ik ben het met de auteur eens dat identiteitsdiefstal een groeiend probleem is. Ik ga echter niet zover om daarmee de legitimiteit van diensten als Naymz in twijfel te trekken. Of  Naymz zelf profielen aanmaakt heb ik in mijn onderzoek niet vast kunnen stellen. Boze tongen beweren het overigens wel. Ondertussen zie ik dat de discussie over OpenId&#8217;s en dataportabiliteit een stadium bereikt waardoor de praktijk van identiteitsdiefstal een halt kan worden toegeroepen. De argumenten die Rietveld aandraagt om te waarschuwen tegen diensten als Naymz onderstrepen de behoefte om te waken over je reputatie. Hedendaags onderzoek naar de evolutie van van reputaties is nog te pril om het pessimistische toekomstbeeld van Rietveld te beamen.</font></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In een mailwisseling met Thomas Drugan heb ik Naymz geschreven dat zij niet voorbij mogen gaan aan de talloze reakties in de blogosphere die Naymz voornamelijk als een vervelende spammer neerzetten. Het heeft Plaxo jaren gekost voor zij deze reputatie achter zich lieten.  Een dergelijke beeldvorming doet immers afbreuk aan wat Naymz haar afnemers voorspiegelt: een goede reputatie. Ik vroeg Thomas waarom hij niet ging twitteren om effektief met deze aanhoudende kritiek te dealen. Ik ben blij dat Thomas die tip heeft opgevolgd en inmiddels als <a href="http://twitter.com/tdrugan ">http://twitter.com/tdrugan </a> is gaan twitteren. </p>
<p>Thomas opent met de volgende <a target="_blank" href="http://twitter.com/tdrugan/statuses/799016661" title="Thomas Drugan op twitter">post</a>: &#8220;There is an opt-out at the bottom of each invite in case you do not want to receive anymore invitations from Naymz&#8221;</p>

<p><strong>Sinds een paar weken verdiep ik mij in de dienstverlening van een amerikaans bedrijfje dat Naymz heet.</strong></p>
<p>Bij mijn verkenning viel het mij vooral op dat het bedrijf dat zich bezig houdt met de promotie en reparatie van online reputaties zichzelf in de blogosphere de reputatie bezorgt van <a href="http://www.sprout.nl/artikel.jsp?id=1299706">spamboer</a>. In hoeverre dat oordeel recht doet aan de meerwaarde van de diensten van Naymz mag u zelf bepalen. De kans bestaat dat de invites voor Naymz de lezers van dit stukje al hebben bereikt. </p>
<p>Mijn <em><a href="http://www.smartmobs.com/2008/04/24/to-naymz-or-not-to-naymz-thats-the-question/">belangstelling</a></em> voor Naymz gaf aanleiding tot een persoonlijke <a href="http://www.smartmobs.com/2008/04/25/tom-drugan-naymz-co-founder-responded/">reactie</a> van een van de oprichters Tom Drugan.  Zelf heb ik de dienst inmiddels uitgeprobeerd. Als je nog eens een keer op mijn naam googelt, kom je mijn <a target="_blank" href="http://gerrit.visser.name/" title="Gerrit op Naymz">profiel </a>vanzelf tegen.</p>
