These days, there are more and more online identities that we have to manage. We have business identities and personal/social identities. Mynameise.com gives you the tools necessary to manage many of your online identities, and the ability to filter these identities based on which circles you are in (business, social, etc). To me, the service is great. I am able to set up multiple profiles, one for business contacts, one for social contacts, and I can make new cards as needed. Each of these cards contain contact info that I chose for that profile. For example, my business card contains my phone number, my portfolio url, my email, and my Twitter, linkedin, and flickr accounts. My social profile contains my blog url, email, twitter, last.fm, xbox live, and many other social accounts.
The one downside to the service is that it only works if others are using it. To this date, I have yet to find another person in Cincinnati that uses the service. I had tried to give away beta keys back when they were in closed beta to no avail. Just today, the service has moved in to an open state (not sure if they are technically in open beta or in a full launch stage). One of the benefits of the new upgrade in service is the inclusion of many new online services that can be tied to your E account. As you can see, there are probably more options than services you use:
The following video gives a brief overview of what the service is and how it works.
