Atomkeep merges all your profiles into one good-looking page

WebTipr David Petherick from the UK is working in the online reputation management business, so I always trust him when it comes to tips about this sector. His last one: Atomkeep. This service merges a large number of services into one profile. Just add them by giving your login credentials - using the clean and good-looking Ajax interface.

One slick profile page

The result is interesting, since Atomkeep allows you to merge fields from - for example - LinkedIn and Facebook which leads to surprising combinations like quotes and groups. Thus sending a link to your Atomkeep page might come in handy when somebody wants to know you better, since it combines professional and personal information in a stylish way.

No automatic syncing

Although Atomkeep almost seamlessly integrates these profiles - I only found error: it recognized Amsterdam as a country (?) -, you’ll have to manually sync the services once in a while. Automatic syncing isn’t available (yet). It gets worse, because when you press the big green sync button, you’ll have to fill in all the passwords again - due to safety restrictions. I hope they’ll come up with an option to store passwords in an encrypted way.

There’s a badge too

Of course Atomkeep has an embeddable piece of content too - as no online reputation management tool can’t live without that -, forcing itself to enter the battle field of British start-ups IDlasso and Retaggr (read review here). Although all tree services have certain USP’s - e.g. Retaggr offers blog comments integration -, I don’t see people using more than one. Taking this in account, I give Atomkeep a high chance of becoming a successful service. For one simple reason: the service looks pretty damn good. The clean lay-out immediately gives Atomkeep a professional look and thus a sense of trustworthiness.

I hope you like that post!

My name is Olexandr and I’m one of the founders of Atomkeep. Thank you for your review!

We launched just a several weeks ago and we’re still in beta and fighting minor bugs. I’ll forward your problem to our development team and we’ll do our best to fix it shortly.

Yes, we are not doing sync automatically because of the safety reason. We don’t want to access your data ourselves, without you being aware of this fact. We position as a tool for you to save time. We may add something like that eventually, but it doesn’t look like there is a huge demand for it now.

We have more services in development and would be happy to introduce them to you shortly. We are more then welcome to feedback and we’d be happy to make Atomkeep the way like you want it to be.

Thank you!
