Feautures & Services for About.Me


New Features and Services released for About.Me

We know that about.me is the social network hub which allows you to create a personalized page with links to all your media sites and RSS feeds; pointing users to your content from around the web.  Now, as it gets ready to nab the Techcrunch Crunchie for best design; the site has become more pleasing to you the small business owner as you can utilize the new features and services to your advantage.

With new services such as formspring you are now able to open the world of communication wide open.  Formspring boasts over 12 million users and gives your new potential clients/customers the opportunity to ask you a direct question about something you have that they are interested in learning about. No longer is about.me one sided; you communicating your opinion or update; this gives you a new opportunity to connect with the users that have a valued interest in your business and products. Actively listening, engaging, and responding about what you have to offer!  You can find more information and sign up at www.formspring.me  

Renaming your links/RSS feeds is another new feature on about.me giving you creative control of the links title and changing things around on your profile page.  Having this control will allow you to play with marketing your RSS feeds and you will be able to see your direct results within your personal analytics dashboard gaining invaluable business knowledge to see where current and potential clients are connecting with you from. And if the new name on your RSS feed hasn't gained any interest, simply edit it with another imaginative cluster of words!! Social media can be like a game of baseball, some days you hit it out of the park and other days you keep it near the umpire behind you at home plate; having this option with your personal analytics and renaming links gets you closer to a Babe Ruth every day!

The added improvements to the directory and people search services have made connecting with potential customers/clients comfortably easy. With sites and search engines sometimes filling your days, having to know where the dot goes or the tach between first and last names, the search engine here now allows you to put in both first/last names or either one. No shorthand is necessary.  Even paging through the directory has a stylistic and user friendly feel to it with the new browse profiles button on your profile page in the upper left corner; simply click it and start paging through profiles allowing you to connect to people which you feel will benefit from knowing you and your business.

Also adding to the home run about.me is about to hit is the share button in the upper left corner of your profile page; located directly next to “browse profiles”.  Allowing people to share your profile on twitter or facebook within 2-3 clicks.  Your information and landing url are already filled into the box(es) that pop open truly making the experience of the user simple and comfortable.  The user-friendly feel keeps moving along with this top rated social network hub and personal analytics dashboard;  that is giving you gains in exposure to all of your landing url’s (business and social media) that you have connected there.  

Enjoy the new features and services that are offered at this site, that is continually improving and making it available for you the small business owner to have a greater market to network with and a custom profile to be seen through your social media world domination.
