:about.me is a personal web hosting service co-founded by Ryan Freitas, Tony Conrad and Tim Young in October 2009.² The site offers registered users a simple platform from which to link multiple online identities, relevant external sites, and popular social networking websites such as Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Flickr, YouTube, Tumblr. It is uniquely characterized by its one-page user profiles, each with a large, often-artistic background image and abbreviated biography.

On December 20, 2010, just four days after its public launch, about.me was acquired by AOL.³ In an interview, co-founder Tony Conrad said that about.me sold for $1.3 million.⁴⁵
