The market is fairly saturated with sites like this, not only from the big players like Google and Facebook, but also from a lot of niche players like flavors.me, hi.im and even a product that I worked on called chi.mp.
Given that there are a lot of players I'm trying to figure out what your differentiator is. With favors.me it's all about making a beautiful profile, with chi.mp it's about getting your own second level .mp domain, for hi.im it's the fact that they made it for RailsRumble. So what is your differentiator?
Regarding the feedback tab on the side, it's ok and it's fairly common, so I think you're ok there. If you really want to get feedback though you're going to have to be more proactive - most people only use the feedback tab if something is broken and they need/want you to fix it.
- rradu 16y agoI suppose the differentiator is that it's a place where you can promote yourself, however vague that sounds. I should add more tools that narrow down this process. I also plan to make the contact forms embeddable, so that anyone can have a contact form on their site--that may be a good selling point

- aeden 16y agoAbout.me is another example of an entity that is differentiating, specifically by focusing on the analytics side of your personal brand. FWIW, I'm not sure if any of these companies are actually going to find a way to profitability.
