DandyID is a social identity service which allows you to centralize your identity, make your profiles portable and offers a Wordpress plugin to list all your social profile icons.
This got me thinking if a service like this is offering “transgender” as an option, why aren’t more sites doing this?
And why don’t sites like YouTube ask my race?
Current numbers about social media users are devoid of rich, detailed, niche statistics like, gender and race. That’s great here are 23 million people on Facebook but I want to know more about their daily lives, how they work, their interactions and what drives them.
As the internet community grows past forums and internet chat, people will begin to wonder, “Who else is online with me?”
In what ways can social networks help people connect based on race, sexual orientation, religion?
