If you’ve got a growing number of online profiles (facebook, twitter, linkedin, tumblr, posterous, flickr, youtube, vimeo, etc…), you might like to consolidate them into one place. About.me provide a free online app to make it easy. I made one and the set up only took 5 minutes. I didn’t put much thought or energy into it, I just wanted to try it out.
Check out what I came up with: about.me/davemiers (if you click on the links under the profile, they have a good-looking RSS feed of your latest content).
davemiers.com consolidates my online profile. But if you don’t have your own dot com, about.me would be really useful for your email signature or any of your profiles that ask you to list your website.
Have a crack yourself (if you do – leave a link in the comments).
Check out tentblogger if you want to take it a step further.
sweet! you like about.me better?
hey john – better than what you’re proposing?
not necessarily.
but the average punter checking out my blog or facebook or twitter is a pastor or student or generally not keen to set up their own john.do (which i love btw!).
so i figure it’s (about.me) an easy way to consolidate.
i’ve thought of doing a john.do type of thing for a while – but have some more pressing things at the moment!!
love your work brother.
i just saw on fb that joel has made one. check it out here: http://about.me/joelamoroney
