Chime,

Shamless rip of about.me, also.

Our pitch: About.me for developers.

This saddens me. I understand the need for such a service, but refuse to take you seriously with such a blatant disregard for originality and uniqueness. Next time a website inspires you, please don't copy + paste.

copy & pasted what?

can you point out any of our code from about.me?

I think you would have a better argument if the sites graphic design didn't appear to copy http://about.me

You're being unreasonable, they're not exactly the same thing. Most popular sites are derivatives of similar ideas.

I like the idea and signed up. I set a small (20x20) image as my background and was dismayed to see it sad and alone in the center of a black background. Could you add an option to tile background images?

about.me is a truly shameless rip of flavors.me.
