What is Flavors.me?
From the Flavors.me site:
Flavors.me allows anyone to create an elegant website, using personal content from around the internet. Ideal for personal homepages, lifestreaming, splash and microsites, celebrity fan pages, commercial promotion, brand marketing – and everything in between.
I ran across a beta invite the other day. Like anything shiny and new, I figured I’d check it out and see if it’s worth a damn. So far, I’m pretty impressed. It was extremely easy to go in and setup the layout, adjust the colors, fonts, etc. The hardest part was choosing what to write about myself. One thing I can’t get to work is the RSS feed to include my blog content. Although I created a second page for someone else, and it works just fine for them.
To me, this is a great way to showcase yourself in one single location. You can link to your Blogs, Twitter stream, Facebook page, Vimeo videos and Flickr images among other things. Plus, you can link out to other sites in the content of the body, which is what I did instead of the RSS feed option for now. This allows me to put everything about me (that I want to be displayed publicly) in one place, where I can point people. That’s a whole lot easier than saying, “here’s a link to my blog, my twitter, my facebook, my vimeo, etc.”
Check out my page, or some of these other examples and let me know what you think.

Set my Flavor site up last week and wrote a review on my blog too. It really is a really nice & simple tool to use as an online aggregation for all your social profiles as well as your blog!
How did you get the subdomain set up?
Sal – I purchased the domain through godaddy and used a 301 redirect with masking turned on.
