The next generation resume for developers and geeks

Perhaps there's more to this once you get into the app, but I just don't get this. Instead of writing my accomplishments and skills on a boring resume or online profile, I get to write my accomplishments and skills on some fun virtual notecards? I can get about the same level of fun by changing the font to Wingdings on my resume, with the added bonus that it's still a resume in a format that's still more likely to be used than the virtual notecards, Wingdings and all. I just don't see the benefit.<p>Also, I signed up for the beta without specifying a Twitter account and got a picture of a chimpanzee holding a gun, which seems to be some sort of error page, although a ridiculously bad one (the error div contains "[object Object]"). I'm guessing that the site requires access to a Twitter account and is piggybacking its authorization on that. For better or worse, this guarantees that I won't be using the site, as I don't have a Twitter account and won't be creating one anytime soon.
