There does not have to be one to one relationship between controllers
and models.  A controller can get data from as many models as it
likes.  You could have an overview controller if that seems
appropriate.  If the data from the various models is displayed on
different areas of the screen then use a partial for each section.

What do you mean 'a page called me'?  Do you mean the URL?  If so how
would you know which user to show for that url?
