I love the design, though. It's a way to reinforce the idea that there is more to a desirable applicant than their diploma and grade average. Basically why LinkedIn is fundamentally broken.
EDIT: Another way to include speaking gigs would be to provide links to your Lanyrd and Speaker Deck profiles.
When I found out it was another resume/CV/job board thing I just rolled my eyes and closed it. If I wanted that I would just use LinkedIn or Google+ (public) to talk about my bits and pieces.
This is pretty neat, but it's not something I would enter my CC details for and pay for each month. I would however drop a one time ~$25 fee and self host it on my own server, and maybe use it. At least this way, I will see it running on my server and periodically update it. I'm just one person of many, but when I see neat little apps like this I would always much rather pay for it outright than pay for it each month…

I'd use this but not as a resume tool. I'd use this as a motivational tool to keep track of the todo items I have since some of them are quite long running and to motivate me into getting those personal projects finished.
Kind of like the new Visual Studio Achievements but for everything else.
Suggestion: "how much would you theoretically pay for this" won't give you much accurate information. I'd suggest changing it to "pre-register for one of our plans: free, $5, $25", with an overview of each, and see what people click.
I've wanted a personal dashboard to track everything in my life at a quick glance, like weight/health metrics, financials, to-do, schedule, emails, twitter replies, etc; something that'll give me a quick and comprehensive view of everything going on personally, socially, financially, professionally. Basically a Mint meets Ducksboard for my life, or even better, a universal life platform that services can hook into.

What I love about this concept is that it's a simple way to share what you have been working on without the appearance of overstating it's importance. It also allows you to update your status quickly while you find the time to write up one of those blog posts that never seem to get written.

Is this simply a vague way of saying that you were hoping for something you could run locally, not a hosted service?
If not, I'm not sure what would stop you from doing exactly as you describe.
