Review: Flavors.me

What’s Your Flavor?

I recently came across a new service, Flavors.me. The service is still in beta but you can sign up for invite codes. Mine was ‘heat’, maybe it’ll work for you. If I’m not suppose to give that out, oops – enjoy.

Flavors.me allows users to create a very simple and elegant personal website. It aggregates different social media platforms like: Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, Flickr and even allows you to pull an RSS feed. I set my Flavors site up in less then five minutes.

When you first login, you create your basic profile page with short bio. Then you can choose up to three layouts for your site: Widescreen, Accordion and Simple. You can customize the background and fonts for the layout.

Check out the demo for more details.

All-in-all I think it’s really cool service with a lot of potential to be a sort-of online business card. As a suggestion, I’ve told our Project Coordinators at work to use it as a means of introducing themselves to our Clients. Rather then being a voice over the phone, they now have a personality and image of who you are.

Flavor.me can also serve as another (free) way for businesses to promote themselves. Some upcoming features of Flavors.me will be custom URLs. Currently, the URL structure is as follow: flavors.me/username. From the welcome email I received, then new structure will allow subdomain URLs like: username.flavors.me which will be sweet for SEO purposes.

I see this being a really cool, fast, clean tool for businesses, social media mavens, celebrities and anyone else wanting to set up a quick spot for themselves on the Web.

So, what’s your Flavor?

    Flavors.me is a great concept and I hope it becomes successful. At a time when it seems one must have a presence on dozens of online destinations, Flavors.me serves as an excellent roadmap to the social-networking madness.

    Custom domains will be a nice way to shorten the destination URL and put a personalized touch on the site.

    I’m very impressed with the service so far and hope it doesn’t come and go like so many internet ventures.
