RapidRegister for Users

In order to use RapidRegister, you must already be registered with FindMeOn.com

RapidRegister is simple to use: with a few clicks of a mouse button you can register with a third party website and link all your online profiles together -- while still keeping them fully isolated and private from one another.

You should also look at FindMeOn's QuickList which is step-2 of the RapidRegistration process


RapidRegister for Developers

What?

RapidRegister lets FindMeOn users create a reserved ID that is used as an OpenID authentication URL supporting the Simple Registration extension. This allows the user to register a new offsite accounts while keeping their existing identities on FindMeOn.com isolated from the new website. The third party website then completes the registration process by binding the ID to their offsite account using our QuickList system.

Why?

FindMeOn's API helps you keep user profiles up-to-date -- even if that user hasn't logged on in days, weeks or months.

FindMeOn helps you outsource your profile management and end orphaned accounts, letting you focus on content and features. By using FindMeOn's QuickList and RapidRegister offerings you're instantly connected to the FindMeOn API for that particular user, and able to update account status and receive syndicated information and cross-network messages.
