My own about page has been through a number of revisions over the past couple years and it might finally be at a place where it has equal parts of keeping-itself-updated and being-hands-off. Check it out, really. It's just the shortest short blurb about me and what I do and then a series of dynamic data taken from feeds and APIs all over the web. I have my most recent flickr photos (from their very own javascript code), my wishlist items from amazon (thanks to MTAmazon) and the top couple movies from my netflix queue (courtesy a feed from netflix and little tweaking in magpie). Add that to the del.icio.us links that fill the sidebar on every page and you have a good at-a-glance picture of what I'm working on, watching and wanting on the web right now. And I don't have to touch it unless I want to add more information to it.

I was thinking about this whole I-have-profiles-in-a-million-places muck while I was playing with ExtraTasty, easily in the top ten for most innovative web apps today. Since you can friend others on ExtraTasty you need some sort of profile page. You'll get a chance to fill out the basic profile information but they'll also give you a chance to fill in your del.icio.us and flickr usernames as well as your blog feed url. Suddently your ExtraTasty profile page has all this information relevant to you and you only just signed up for ExtraTasty five minutes ago. Brilliant.

Finally, a plea; Dearest audioscrobbler, please give me some way to pick up group or album photos from data in your feeds. I want to display my top artists for the week but they're without pictures! What fun is that, really?
