Bigsight is about your true identity

What Company Says:
Bigsight can be a tool for you to get your work out to a larger audience.
The web is a crowded place and it has traditionally done a very poor job of dealing with people data; as such, they believe it is time for a central, standardized directory that is organized around the lasting elements that are tied to individual identity: learning, interests, and work. In creating this directory, they hope to provide a useful utility for individuals to better promote their work, connect with opportunities, and control their online identity. They employ a team of editors and ask that users adhere to strict content guidelines to ensure informational integrity across the directory.

How It Works:

bigsight is about your true identity. They do not allow avatars, aliases, or imagined data. Users must use their real names, real data, and provide an image in which they can be plainly seen.Central to the bigsight model is a third-person, narrative biography that connects all of the elements on the user’s profile. Editors may, at times, make corrections to a user’s bio or suggest improvements; however, each time an editor touches a user’s profile, the user will be notified of the change for review. They do this to ensure a moderate level of standardization across entries.To ensure that profile data is timely, they ask that users visit their profiles at least once each quarter to provide appropriate updates. Profiles that go un-touched after two quarters will be considered abandoned, and thus removed from the directory.
