If you're one of the estimated 173 million social network users in the US, chances are you have more than one profile on the many social network sites in existence. In fact, you probably have multiple profiles and "friends" across various social networking sites like YouTube, MySpace and others. Updating the variety of profiles and messages across each social site can be tedious and time-consuming.

A new company named ProfileLinker has recognized this fact and developed a system to help folks maintain their multiple profiles and messages across bunches of popular networking sites.

Today ProfileLinker launched a service that gives web users the ability to link their profiles across various social networking sites in one centralized location. ProfileLinker is a free service that has just exited what ProfileLinker called "months of closed beta testing and product development" in an email sent out today about ProfileLinker's launch.

Recently reviewed by TechCrunch, ProfileLinker basically allows users to input the social networking sites they currently use along with login credentials, letting ProfileLinker bring all the users' friends from their favorite networks together and receive updates in one central location.

ProfileLinker also lets users search across "over 250 million profiles with live member data from some of the biggest names in social networking" such as Digg.com, del.icio.us, Facebook, eHarmony and more.

Users can also customize their ProfileLinker start page with specific modules such as local sports, weather, etc. And, ProfileLinker supports its users' chosen RSS feeds from sites across the internet.

The ProfileLinker toolbar enables users to be notified when they receive messages from friends across their chosen social sites, and provides access to their ProfileLinker page while their scanning other websites.

"ProfileLinker solves an issue that active social network users face everyday - the extensive amount of time it takes to check, change, update and manage multiple social network profiles," said Alix Holder, co-founder of ProfileLinker, in a press release distributed today.

"We see ourselves as a My Yahoo! for social networking that can help supplement and drive traffic to existing networks, both mainstream and niche, by encouraging activity and repeat visits," Holder continued.
