Hi James, awesome compare page. Really detailed. Just wanted to mention that anyone wanting to host their own about me page or simple website they should try http://squeegeepage.com/

You have to host it on your own windows server but you own it and use your own domain name. Just pay one time, yours forever. Also have different versions so you could add multiple pages and make it an actual website.

Cheers and thanks for letting me comment!

The SEO benefits, and extra site linking options make flavors.me a easy choice. $20 a year? No brainer.

Though what I really like about Flavors.me is that they pick up the posts, tweets etc faster than About.me
My last tweet is shown as on January 15 on About.me
I have mailed to support for About.me and he told me that “There is occasionally a delay in caching the most recent information from 3rd party services, but more than a couple days is unusual” , since then my blog posts have been updated, but no luck with Twitter 🙁

One thing I didnt like about Flavors.me, as I pointeed on my blog too is that it shows your entire post for say wordpress.com or Blogger or in your case the entire posta at http://noteasytoforget.com/ thats not like really reader friendly as it involves too much scrolling!!!

Interesting article !
I signed up to about.me with the idea of using the service has my official webpage (with my own .com domain)

Now that my profile is completed and online, I’m worried that about.me won’t be has good has having a “regular” website for a good google ranking…
Like you mentioned, title can’t be changed, there’s no extra meta data support.

I’m using domain fowarding to my about.me profile so, I guess my domain won’t show in the search ?

i think you could add zerply.com into this discussion, although it leans more towards the professional profile than just a social media hub. Its only in beta testing stage so it doesnt have many of the features listed above. but from my experience its been super easy to set up and has fantastic themes by top web designers

I don’t see any nofollow on my About.me profile

This is a great comparison. I’ve been using about.me but will definitely look into flavour.me as it could help my websites
