True, at this point you can get a similar page with about.me , but:

- about.me takes a few minutes to create a profile because they show a form with a lot of steps, so you have to do a lot of thinking just to put together a simple page.

- about.me requires uploading a photo to create a profile, and it's not possible to have a website without a personal photo. Veonid requires only a name and description.

- about.me shows a job title or "tags" next to a name. Veonid doesn't.

- about.me shows a background color by default, which can be excessive for some. Veonid is just white background and plain text, so it's more universal.

- about.me allows creating only 1 profile per account. With Veonid, you can create multiple profiles from 1 account — for example, if you want to create a profile for someone else, or another profile for yourself but with a different content or for a different purpose.
