About.me lets you create a page to promote who you are and what you do in one link. Add your social media accounts and customise it to suit your brand.
About.me is a personal web hosting service co-founded by Ryan Freitas, Tony Conrad and Tim Young in October 2009.
About.me is a simple personal website platform that lets you create a simple page to point users to your content and social media links.
For the sake of sticking to simplicity, About.me sites generally include a background photo, an optional thumbnail profile photo, a description and some links to social media or other websites.
There are now also a range of templates available so you can customise the look of your page to fit with your personal style and brand.
Compared to other website builders and blog building tools like Blogger, WordPress.com and Tumblr offer a complete platform to build upon, including the ability to host several web pages, write blog posts and feature widgets.
About.me provides you with just one single page to display all your links and a summary of yourself. This makes it more of a CV than a website. In fact, the business sells itself as providing customers with a web page as a business card.

Your About.me becomes your virtual online business card. Put the URL to your site in your Twitter profile, share it on Facebook or add it to your LinkedIn as a website.
If you don’t have your own personal website, you can point colleagues, clients, and prospects to your About.me page so they can find out more about you and connect with you.
About.me is also great for getting discovered within the network itself. You can browse other About.me profiles and connect with those users if you want by starring their profiles, email them or even by leaving a comment. This makes it a useful way to expand your network.
