Hi guys

My knowledge of the online marketing / advertising industry is not so great, so I'm gonna ask for your help. Maybe you can point me in the right direction. Im looking for a site or company that does the following:

It seems that most people have a Facebook account. It also seems that many sites could benefit from sharing data between themselves in order to enhance the user experience.

For example, I am a user on a niche internet forum, gringoes.com

Gringoes.com asks me to login thru facebook, so can get my name/dob etc. and personal details.

But i'm also a member of sitepoint.com , and I've been posting there for 5+ years. They have loads more info on me there , like my post count, PM's , etc.

Is there a way Gringoes could access my information from sitepoint, maybe thru a 3rd party database, with my permission, in order to enhance their site? It wd certainly enhance the usr experience for me. For example, they could calculate a total post count for me across all the different forums I use.

Is there a company/methodology/business model/3rd party/agreement/business tool/protocol/ etc. that could do this? Obviously gringoes.com could make an agreement with sitepoint.com, but it would be a rather time consuming thing, requiring legal agreements, integration, etc. Would be much easier if there was a 3rd party (like FB/Google/...) who could handle my data for me and share it between the sites.

    Not that i'm aware...mainly because that data is held on a seperate site and they would need access to the sites database to suck out the stats data. Alternatively they could scrape the data from the user page but this isnt going to be a good longterm option either.

    I doubt any reputable site would allow a mashup of userdata etc.
