What exactly is the use case here? I think this is trying to hard to be a new network of sorts without adding significant or desirable value. Below are some examples of online profiles that add value (outside of FB, Twitter, LinkedIn)
About.me provided a nice professional landing page for me.
Coderwall falls under a good niche to get actually valuable information
Threewords.me was super simple providing a throwaway fun.
GiveBrand.to requires an education system and is too professional to be like threewords. In other words, I still don't get why I should sign up for givebrand.
- dlf 14y agoI think the idea is that someone could say they're great at writing grant proposals, but it carries a lot more weight when it's confirmed by others. Seems like it would be a nice simple way to confirm your talents to prospective employers and other professional connections.

- simonbrown 14y agoWhat stops someone creating a lot of fake accounts to vouch for them? Also, how would people show this to prospective employers? Would they post the URL on their resume?
- russtrpkovski 14y agoGreat feedback Martin. The site is a great way to show off your personal brand and build credibility for your skills. Takes away the self reporting bias.
