iUseThis Profile Maker
Apple October 31st, 2006iUseThis, the Mac software community’s answer to Digg.
The one thing that has held me back from becoming an active user of the iUseThis community is the fact that I have to go through the site manually and click “iUseThis” on each and every application I have. I have over 150 application installed on my Mac, and not enough time to go through and click on each and every one of these.
Enter iUseThis Profile Maker.
iUseThis Profile Maker is more of a script that an application. You register at iUseThis, sign in, then run the application. What it does is search through your application folder, then send all the apps you have installed directly to your iUseThis profile, saving you hours of time over adding them manually.
iUseThis Profile Maker should be released next week, I’ll keep you updated on it’s status.
If you like, you can check all the cool applications I’m currently using in my profile here.

Looks quite interesting.
I’ll put “creating an iUse-Account” on my to-do list for this week :)

Thats the same reason I’m not active there. This looks very useful!

It must be almost Halloween, because that was pretty spooky.
Just this morning I saw a link to iUseThis and thought how much more I would use it if they had an app like MacZot’s “Suggest-A-Zot” that makes it easy to use the web service.
I’ll definitely use it when it comes out!

wph, I just thought the same thing yesterday. I saw a link to the iUseThis page for an app and wished there was an easier way to scan your system and automatically add the applications. Sounds like a useful utility.
