Personomies are digital manifestations of an individual. Personomies combine identity (who you are), activity (what you do) and sociality (who you know). They include emails, contacts, blog posts, comments, purchases, page views, forms filled, bookmarks, ads clicked, chats, feeds subscribed and more. All these bits of data that can be tracked back to me belong in my personomy.

Your long trail is your personomy.

Many on this blog have told me personomies were the same thing as digital personas, semantic web or online identity.... All these concepts are indeed similar and sometimes hard to distinguish. The main difference, i think, is that personomies are also about the realization, by the owner, that his data is extremelly valuable. Valuable in a commercial, social and political sense. I believe that personomies will play an important role in the upcoming web.
