Ok, I'm going to say it...
...I don't get it. The product is, IMHO, pretty immature - no surprise seeing as it only just went live a few days ago. Unlike RackSpace buying CloudKick a few days ago, where you could argue it would be hard + long + risky to build in-house, with About.me I really can't see what couldn't have been built by Aol in a short order of time.
Sure they had 400k+ users in the beta (wtf?) and so of course AOL gets to buy users. But 'tens of millions' seems a lot for 400k users.
- iterationx 16y ago400K users at the moment, but what's their rate of growth? Maybe it'll be 1m in a few months. Facebook is how you interact with friends, Twitter is SMS, and About.me is how you present yourself to the Internet public at large.
