About.me is a new personal profile page provider that ties your social networking profiles like Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin, Flickr, StumbleUpon, your Email, Blogs and many more on one place. With this personal page, you can express your entire online identity on social media while keeping your individuality. About.me is just all about you around the web.
Why you need About.me personal profile page?
About.me allows you to build a single online identity, a personal profile page that points to all your content around the web. It’s about more than just your Facebook or Twitter profiles, it’s about your entire online identity. At present your online identity was fragmented across all of the sites you use every day, for example your relationship status, education, location on Facebook, your personal information described at Twitter, your resume is outlined on Linkedin, and your technical stuff or your passions are presented in your blog. About.me gives you a single webpage profile to bring your entire identity to one place in a simple and easy way.
So with one link you can share your entire online identity to any one and you no need to give them links to your Facebook profile, Twitter profile, your web sites or blogs. You can save the space required to your profile links, websites, blogs on your business card to print some other information by just printing your About.me link. Even when you meet up with some one, or in bloggers meet ups you can easily share your entire web links with single URL. Your cluttered email signature with many links will look good with one link.
That’s not all you can do with About.me, They know you love to see the analytics of your profile page, About.me allows you to track your visitors, just like Google Analytics. Even you can check your activity on Facebook and Twitter like how many updates you posted, to whom you replied on Twitter, how many @mentions and who mentioned you most and more. This startup is acquired by AOL recently and launched to the public.

@Sri ganesh, You BG is cool
I applied for an about.me page but the link expired and now i am not able to send me another invite… what to do
?
Its too bad. !! you can subscribe with your new email id. But i think you wont get the same exact name.
even i like to have ” Sriganesh ” but its already taken and its empty one. so send a another one. or wait for a while or send a request to them, they might help you well !!
Rakesh, they have now made it open. Any one can now open an about.me account (even without an invite link). so now head to http://www.about.me and create your account before someone registers your desired name.
My about.me profile -> http://www.about.me/pswmusings
@Rakesh, if they are not allowing to create with the same user id which you applied, just post at their forum, you will get a solution.
great site…
i recently share a similar plugin for wordpress..
