Profilactic is a social media aggregator that launched in the end of 2006. It is focus primarily in pulling all of your online profiles into one place. In other word, if you’ve Twitter, blog(s), Flickr, YouTube, etc., what you need to do is sign-up to Profilactic and then start to pull all of these activities under the accounts aforesaid into your Profilactic. On the other hand, you also can see everything that going on with your friends in all the sites they used, provided they’ve a Profilactic account. You can imagine it is very cool when you can interact with multiple sites at once. This type of aggregator or better known as lifestream mashup is pervasive now on the Web. In using this type of service, you also can create a badge, i.e. My lifestream and put it onto your blog, or some other social networking sites.

Social media aggregator is not a very special asset that can earn a startup supercompetitive for an unusually long time. FriendFeed also doing it, with the intense competition from Socialthing!, iminta, and Plaxo. However, Profilactic is trying to outstrip its competitors in a “number game.” They made a comparison with FriendFeed in March this year, in a post entitled, “Profilactic vs. FriendFeed,” with the statement that Profilactic is supporting 155 social sites. Now the number has increased to 186.
