If you’re a Twitter user, then you’ll probably be aware that you have a fairly limited area to fill in a personal profile on the site. It can be a bit of a pain, especially if you’re active on lots of different places on the web, or just want to be able to provide more information about yourself.

A new third-party Twitter service was launched today that aims to get around this very problem: profiles.im. The idea is simple – it provides you with an extended public profile to go with your Twitter account. You can fill out as much or as little info as you want, display your recent twitpics, include an rss feed of your blog and show your latest tweets all on one convenient page.

It’s very simple to use, and if at any time you change your mind, you can delete your profile in just three clicks. The developer is Dom Ramsey (of Fotonomy fame) and while the service is quite basic at the moment, he promises me that there are lots of new features on their way. He also welcomes feedback and suggestions – just send him a tweet to @domr or @profilesim.

Oh, and if you’re interested, my profiles.im page can be found here!
