Provides shortcut paths to current user's pages, eg user/me, blog/me, user/me/edit, tracker/me etc. This means logged in users no longer have to know/remember their uid, and it makes it easier to link to user-specific pages from a site help page (without resorting to using php to put $user->uid in...

'Me Aliases' is a module for creation of personal links, allowing users the ability to click on their own links without a lot of hassle. It is easy to learn and use, but requires some thought on actual link creation.
Within the admin menu, a single config allows for creation of links, such as blog/me or any other link that would link back to a user. These links can then be added to menus, allowing for a fast way for users to click on their own links. Anywhere a user can exist within a Drupal site, a link can be made to allow that user the ability to go straight to that page.
I like this module and it is currently active for me, on a test site for some later production sites. I have encountered no problems, other than having to think up which links I wanted to use, which isn't really a problem. My only suggestion would be to have a user contributed list of default links, ones that come from an out of the box install, and have that list available in the documentation. That would surely help newbies like myself. I'll probably be adding the links slowly as I learn where they are and what they do, then I'll create a personal user menu, containing all of their links.
This module is so simple and quite useful every once in a while. It allows you to add menu items which refer to the current logged in user by using the 'alias' "me". You will know when you need this module, and it is very useful when you do.
Instead of coding links in tpl-files I use this very useful tool.
And it´s perfekt to avoid trouble with system protected menu links like "my account".
