Tried it out, excellent execution. The Linkedin import is a killer.

But, what's the use case for a product like this? I mean, I had my CV on Linkedin for ages. Same goes for most of the professionals I know.

How does a product like this one - and the others mentioned in the comments - position itself in a space dominated by Linkedin and personal web sites (such as flavors.me)?

I'm curious of that too. What's the differentiator? If it's just that it's 'simple' then why not just create a simple facade over sites like LinkedIn (full disclosure I work there)? What incentive do users have in the long run to maintain yet another site with information about them. At some point after undergrad I went around tracking down all those about-me sites that accumulated around the net and had outdated or completely erroneous information. I get the feeling this would stale in the same way.
Can't see the linkedin import feature. Where is it? Such a simple site, can't believe I'm missing it.
