About.Me is a new web service that allows you to create a very simple and direct-to-the-point page about yourself. All you have to do is fill-up a short bio, pick a photo, and put the links to your other social networking accounts (Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, etc). The service is still in beta and to be able to join you have to register via the site and wait until they contact you to say that your account is already okay. Here’s a screen shot of the page I made.
Creating an About.Me page won’t take you more than 10 minutes so it’s definitely worth the effort to reserve the profile name by signing up early. Chances are there’s somebody in this planet with the same name as you. Beat them to the punch.
If you have About.Me profiles already, please do share your URL below in the comments section.
Nice one Carlo.
My wife won’t allow me to include her in the pic (mahiyain siya, hehehe) so here’s what I chose: http://about.me/jonasdelosreyes
Cool! Thanks Jonas. I actually found out of the site because you mentioned it on Twitter several weeks ago.
Here’s mine… an about.me page for my blog that can also serve as a personal one.

Cool! I should make one for NMP too.
wow! this is cool. I already signed up. Thanks for this info. =D
Thanks for this! Around how many days did you wait for your account to be ready for dressing up? Thanks!
No problem! Just check your e-mail every now and then. I think it took them 2 weeks to get me my invite.
Oh alright. I thought my name didn’t get in. Thank you Carlo!
