			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>While anonymity is a major advantage of using the Internet, it is also one of its biggest disadvantages. There are numerous situations in which you need to verify the identity of the person you are dealing with online e.g. while buying or selling something. To help accomplish this, a web service called TruLy was created.</p>
<p><img src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/dir/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Verify.jpg?570cd5" alt="online id verification service" /></p>
<p>TruLy is a web service that helps verify your online identity. The site lets you enter your detailed information such as full real name, email address, birthday, and last 4 digits of your SSN. Your data is then cross-referenced with a national database of government and public data. Such verification helps you quickly verify your identity whenever you are dealing with anybody online.</p>
<p>Your verified ID can be shared through a direct URL; you can get a custom URL too for $4.95 per year. This can be a big plus when you are using buying/selling online or using online dating services.</p>
<p>Features:</p>
<ul>
<li>A user-friendly web service.</li>
<li>Lets you verify your identity online.</li>
<li>Matches your information with a national database of government and public data.</li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are so many social networks out there and connecting with somebody on multiple networks is a time consuming and arduous task.  FullyFollow makes it tremendously easier by letting people follow you on various networks like Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn with a single click.</p>
<p>Once you sign up for a free account and link your account to your social networks, you are provided with a custom URL like <em>FullyFollow.me/abc.</em> Now whenever you meet somebody new, just give them this URL instead of telling them how to find you on Facebook or LinkedIn. Once they go to the URL, they&#8217;ll be able to choose the networks they want to follow you on and start the connection with a single click.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Do you have an image of an object you cannot identify? You could ask others to <a href="http://www.makeuseof.com/dir/idthis-identify-picture/">look at the picture and try identifying the object</a>; but they might also not know. MacroGlossa is a web service that has come up with a brilliant solution to this problem.</p>
<p><img src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/dir/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/macro-glossa1.png?570cd5" alt="identify objects in image" /></p>
<p>MacroGlossa is an image comparison website. The idea behind it is to help people identify the objects in their pictures. Whether you have a picture of an animal, a painting, a landscape, or some other thing, you can pass it through MacroGlossa&#8217;s interface.</p>
<p>The site then tries matching your specified image with many available on the web. The search might take a while; it is advisable to narrow it down using the categories listed on the site: animals, biological, panoramic, and artistic. The search results are then displayed below your specified image.</p>
<p><img src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/dir/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/macro-glossa11.png?570cd5" alt="identify objects in image " /></p>
<p>You can click on a search result thumbnail to enlarge the image and then optionally view it in its true resolution.</p>
<p><img src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/dir/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/macro-glossa2.png?570cd5" alt="find similar images" /></p>
<p>The service is still in alpha so do not expect supremely accurate results. Still however, the site is a great source for finding similar images even if at times it cannot accurately help identify the object in a picture.</p>
<p>Features:</p>
<ul>
<li>Helps identify what object a picture contains.</li>
<li>Helps look for pictures similar to a given picture.</li>
<li>Advanced searching lets you specify the object category: animals, biological, panoramic, and artistic.</li>
<li>EXIF tags extractor (on result images).</li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you are a blogger, you might have come across the Facebook badge you can place on your site.

<p><img src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/dir/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/twithut1.png?570cd5" alt="twitter signature image" /></p>
<p>TwitHut lets you generate is the same as Facebook badge, but only for Twitter users. It is a free website that creates our very own badge which it calls our Twitter Signature.</p>
<p>Before we can go ahead with creating our Signature, we need to sign up for a free account on TwitHut and sign into Twitter. Then we can log into TwitHut and enter our Twitter username / ID. Then we select the size of our Badge / Signature. There are three available sizes: 160&#215;200, 400&#215;150, and 312&#215;92. We can select whichever size will suit our blog / site best.</p>
<p>Regardless of the selected size, the information on our signature will be the same: our Twitter followers, friends, and latest Tweet. When our Signature is generated, we are given its preview and its HTML code (for websites) and BBCode (for forums). A direct link to our Signature image is also given.</p>
