I was trying out Naymz, the new service that is supposed to let you create an organized profile of links and information when you are googled, and it seemed like a good service. I was put off a bit by this email request from Naymz. This is what I was cautioning PR folks against. By the way, I looked at digg.com (I am a digg’r) and no one had posted the story. Good for digg’rs and let’s hope that this kind of faked bragging and promotion stays a “no, no” on the Internet.

Little old Naymz has finally hit the big time! We had an exclusive interview with the Chicago Tribune which appeared in today’s business section.

Here is the online version of the article. To view it you may need to sign-up with ChicagoTribune.com. It’s free if you are not yet a member. The Trib, as we like to call it here in Chicago, has a readership of nearly 2.5 million. Thanks to Eric Benderoff for doing an awesome job covering the issue of online identity management and Naymz as a potential solution.

Thanks to all of you who have signed up and supported Naymz since we launched in June. Over the last few months we have collected feedback, changed our site based on your great advice, worked through some bugs and we now feel ready to really get the word out about Naymz. Anything you can do to help spread the word would be appreciated.

If you have a free minute today please go to Digg.com and vote (aka “Digg”) for today’s trib article. The more votes it gets, the more the article will be read by millions of Digg users. This could really help put us on the map which in turn will allow us to make Naymz a better product for you.

As always, let us know if you have any ideas on how to make Naymz more useful. Thanks again!

Best Regards,

The Naymz Team
