About.me – the trendy place to obtain and create a minimalistic ‘page’ about you – has announced new services, for a low fee.
For $4 per month, users can upgrade to About.me Premium, which offers the following goodies:
- Use a Custom Domain – Display your about.me page on your domain yourname.com
- Remove about.me Navigation Bar – Create a cleaner look by removing the top navigation bar from your page
- Google Analytics – Add google analytics to your site to get in depth stats
- Priority Support – Get to the front of the line with any support or help request
The single most important addition seems to be that of the use of your own domain.
For example, instead of about.me/elliotsilver you could use ElliotSilver.com; the .com owner is not domain investor, Elliot Silver, incidentally.
We aren’t sure, however, what’s the benefit of doing that upgrade, when you can achieve the same results with a free installation of WordPress and a couple of plugins! 😀
