\nGenerally speaking, social profile editors are a dime a dozen. In the last few months, for example, about.me<\/a>, flavors.me<\/a> or Follr<\/a> have cropped up in the US, allowing users to pull information from various social networks together to build a single online identity.
\nBut none of these services have a Japanese UI or integrate Japanese sites, prompting Tokyo-based Clutch<\/a> to come up with This me<\/a>, a free service that is supposed to let users create a “cool social profile page in 5 minutes”.
\nThe way it works is pretty similar to the US-based editors mentioned above: just choose a username\/personalized URL, select a design, upload pictures, connect with your existing social network profiles and blogs, and you’re done.

\nWhat’s interesting here (apart from the Japanese-only UI) is that This me makes it possible to integrate Mixi profiles, something that the US counterparts can’t offer. Clutch says that they plan to integrate GREE profiles in the next months, in addition to YouTube, Flickr and others.
\nThe company expects to have 100,000 users for This me by year-end. It competes with similar local profile editors like Nifty’s aboutme.jp<\/a> or Iddy<\/a>.
