My About.me Page
Posted on 25 August 2011
I just launched my About.me page yesterday: http://about.me/jaredreitzin (Check it out and let me know what you think).
I think this is a pretty cool concept. I spent some time with Tony Conrad the founder at Summit Series, and he gave me some great advice on building a Board of Advisors. I need to get a cool picture like him where it takes over his whole page. Looks a lot nice than my sideways picture of me starring at dolphins (it was a nice day at the beach in the middle of winter though).
What I like about this site is just how simple it is to create a site that you can send someone to you that is a business card on steroids. You can link all all of your blogs, favorite links and social media presence for easy acces. Also the design is very pretty. They have this font I fell in love with (I know that sounds wrong, but a good font is hard to come by) called ”Proxima Nova”. Its a bit like Helvetica.
Have I inspired you to create your own, or do you already have one? Please comment below.
Looks cool, for sure. But…how many storefronts do we need? I'm really asking, that's not just rhetorical.

about.me really is an interesting concept, I can't believe I haven't heard of them until now. Being a "business card on steroids" sounds great, but how do you get someone to visit your about.me page unless you give them some other portal (your website or even a real businesscard)?
