What do you guys think about using about.me as a personal business card? My personal homepage design is getting really long in the tooth and don't really have time for at redesign. Would you prefer the about page at about.me or using your own domain and design?
So who here uses about.me?

> In the end, what About.me brings to the table is pretty boring. I don't agree. If you start to think about what could disrupt LinkedIn, you realize that there's a good chance it could look like About.me. I bet in 12 months, About.me will find some direct competitors. This is a big opportunity IMO.
"So and so has endorsed you for XML and Microsoft Office!" Every time I get one of these emails I come a little bit closer to closing my LinkedIn account. A LinkedIn replacement in the form of about.me sounds pretty appealing right now.

There's something similar (with less dumb endorsements?) in zerply.com.

upon DOM inspection it says "A Tag can consist of letters A-Z, plus, space, underscores, hash or dashes."
That aside it's a very slick website
edit: apparently you also can't edit an experience name. It looks like it changes when you save but when you refresh it it goes back to what it was before.

I would have used it, but it always said the username I wanted was unavailable (despite the page saying "This name is available!"). Then last month it suddenly became the page of a SF-based developer, which seems to happen all the time for 'unavailable', but unused, names. Pretty annoying.
Hey pidg - sorry about that. It was probably an early reserved username. If anyone else runs into this we can help at help(@)about.me.
