Yuniti is an online social network that has taken care to promote itself as a safe haven for members. You may remember that it was among the first social networks to sign on ValidationID for the protection of its users, as well as capabilities to note the authentication of other Yuniti members. Now Yuniti is taking the concept of identity validation in another direction with the addition of a MySpace Tracker.

With this feature on Yuniti, you have a spam-free and scam-free way of seeing who’s been visiting your MySpace profile. The good thing about Yuniti’s MySpace Tracker is that you don’t have to provide your personally identifying MySpace information. The downside is that this Tracker is limited to other Yuniti users that have also signed up for this new tracking service. What you’ve got, in essence, is a fraction of a typical case profile aggregator that takes into account the activity of certain participating users on Yuniti, that have activated the tracking tool.

As with Yuniti’s inclusion of ValidationID, the features won’t be entirely helpful until a large number of users sign on as well. When it comes to tools such as these offered by Yuniti, the downfalls merely come with the qualms of taking the safe route. Will Yuniti’s scam-free approach help give it a leg up? The somewhat roundabout manner with which the use of the MySpace Tracker that’s required may also be the major downturn to Yuniti’s adoption rate, which is the opposite of what Yuniti hopes it will do–increase the network’s adoption rate.
