As soon as about.me launched I got a profile on the site, a shameful admission to some but to me is interesting to see how new sites work and how they can be utilised. For a long time though it has had little attraction never getting many views and not having much visability online. It seems that those days are over with increasing popularity over the last year. As any good site does about.me includes statistics.
I very much doubt over the last year I have suddenly become more applicable to the world wide web -- would imply I was irrelevant before Feb 2013. So personally I attribute this increase, however unstable to an increase in popularity of the site.
Interesting observation through the power of graphs! To Corrupt my future stats feel free to view my profile
Yes a shameless plug.
