This is a good domain name, better than facebook. But the real goal of the service is not clear.

Why metering activity on about.me ? Is this something people want ? How many ? How much do they want it ? What for ?

What is the added value of your site compared to all other similar services we have today on the web ? It should be (made) obvious, otherwise people won't spend the time to check.

I think it is quite interesting. You have a dashboard to monitor/control your online presence. I've done this for a while with my own website, but they are bringing it to the general public.

I'd be curious to know what their business model would be though. I can see that they will be aggregating more user data as they can associate all your online profiles with your one persona now.

How is this different from flavors.me?

I can see this working. LinkedIn isn't for everyone. Signed up.
