Get a Wink Me Button!
We just released some fun new features here at Wink. You already know about our People Search, so now we’ve gone and made it even easier to find you. The first feature is our new profile page. When you have a Wink account, we give you a Wink profile. This lets you share your wink experience with others. You can share your favorite sites, collections, and friends. Plus you can use the wink profile to claim the other sites and pages that you belong to across the web. Your MySpace, your LinkedIn page, Facebook, blog, etc. Now when people search for you, they’ll see how these various sites relate to you… Example: Here is people search for me… David Beach, you can see that my LinkedIn result is first, but there are links to my other profile pages across the web. Flickr, my blog, Yahoo! 360, etc. I’ve used my Wink profile to claim all of the other pages that are about me. You can too!
We also let loose the “Wink Me” button. This little guy can be placed anywhere you like, on any of these sites. Your MySpace, blog etc. It let’s people “wink” you and counts how many winks you have received. The more winks you have the more awesome you are… 
You can choose from a number of different designs to dress up your site any way you like.
Here’s mine…
Go ahead and Wink Me.
Have fun and start the Wink fest. There’s more on the way too, so stay tuned.

Wink Me button is a good idea, I also like the refinements you guys have been performing on the site. But sometimes it doesn’t save my ratings.

[…] Wink, a federated or metasearch type search resource that allows users to search multiple social search tools (del.icio.us, Digg, Yahoo MyWeb, etc.) simultaneously has recently added a new features that allows users to do the same type of thing with multiple social networking services including MySpace, LinkedIn, and Bebo with more to come. According to an email from the company, over 100 million people profiles are available. In some cases, a person might not participate in a social networking service but their profile is included if they have a Wikipedia entry. This also includes people who are deceased. One of the largest challenges Wink and similar services must work to improve is the quality of authority control. Wink has also launched another new feature called Wink Me that’s described by Wink’s director of product management in this blog post. […]

Cool feature for us bloggers. However will people understand what the button is there for - what it means.
Maybe I should place description under the icon that says something like:
“Like this blog? Wink ME”
That way visitors have a better idea what the button actually does.
