Get your #SignalFlare ready

Get your #SignalFlare ready

On the first of each month, until the G+ shutdown, post -- or better, reshare your pinned post with -- your best current address and. contact information.

If you don't want that public, you can choose to post this to limited Circles instead.

It's the 28th, two days to go.

Make yourself easy to find

Build a YASN-Roll. A list of links to your profiles on all the other "Yet Another Social Network" platforms where you have an account.

1) Add to and update the Sites.otherProfiles section of https://aboutme.google.com
It's not clear yet if Google Profiles and AboutMe will survive the G+Sunset but it's possible. In the mean time, it's a key way of finding people's profiles on other systems.

2) If you have a key blog or a personal website with it's own domain, set up an about page or sidebar containing a list of all your profiles on other sites. If you have control over the HTML put in the microformats like this.
$profilePlatformName There are systems out there (maybe) that can recognise circular rel="me" references and use them to validate identity.

3) Put links to your YASN-Roll as the first entry in the About Profile section on each platform. Add it to email signatures, business cards and such like.
