I'm curious as to what Achoo actually did? What service did they provide? Their homepage simply links to the blog post which doesn't really state anything about their product

I found a brief blurb on TechCrunch[1]:

> Their say: Socially accepted bragging: crisp profiles for freelancers, consultants and hustlers. Freelancers & consultants have to spend too much time to make sure their online profile is up-to-date and professional looking – to the extent some can’t be bothered. Achoo makes it very easy to spread your achievements and lessons learned which make up a crisp-looking profile. In addition there are networking features added to make sure opportunities find you.

> Our take: Alas there are a lot of profile page startups but worth kicking the tyres on this one.

Sounds like About.me for LinkedIn.

Achoo won’t become the professional social network that shows what you have accomplished, and with whom.
