Sandbox:Developing a Professional Profile/Case Study/About.me

About.me allows the user to create a single webpage to provide basic biographical information and to collocate all the user's web content in one space. About.me pages are being used as a new form of online business cards that can be attached to online profiles and print business cards using a QR code. This allows users to extend more in-depth information about themselves by locating their social networks in one place.

Review the Best Practices for Effective Design of About.me Pages and select two About.me profiles listed in the article. Discuss how these profiles are being used to extend a personal brand.

Why did you choose those profiles? Do you get a sense of "purpose" from the profiles you selected? What is that purpose? Have they used design elements effectively? Discuss. Identify similar practices across both profiles. Discuss.
