Is About.me Worth the Effort?

Is About.me, the directory service worthwhile, compared to LinkedIn for networking?  I set myself up as I like the idea of a Virtual Business Card and I think it is valuable as a tool in that regard.  When it is all finished it looks close to my WiseStamp signature, but I can’t embed it in my blog, just link to it.  And I don’t like the idea that it only presents one view of me, even resumes highlight work experience differently.  So I remain neutral about this, having put it off until I could do it justice.

I set up my about.me splash page and want to share it with you.
