about.me is a personal web hosting service co-founded by Ryan Freitas, Tony Conrad and Tim Young in October 2009. 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 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. In an interview, co-founder Tony Conrad said that about.me sold for $1.3 million.

The site's advisors include Veronica Belmont, Ryan Block, Lindsay Campbell, Timothy Ferriss, Om Malik, Chris Sacca, Matt Mullenweg, Julia Allison, Tom Conrad.
