We just launched a major revamp of Plaxo profiles, based on feedback from our most active users. The goal of the re-design was to give you a profile that is:
- More professional – with greater emphasis on work history and removal of religion and politics
- More dynamic – with higher visibility for stream of content you’re sharing from all over the Web
- More personal – giving more of the page’s “real estate” over to you.
Check out yours, and make sure it reflects the image you want to project to each of your key audiences. Use the new preview feature to see how your profile appears to the public, to other members you’re not connected to, and to your business network, your friends, and your family.
Here's how mine looks to my business connections:
Also, we’ve now built a bridge between profiles and address book. For the appropriate profiles, you’ll see an “in your address book” link, which slides down a little window into your address book, with contact info at a glance and an editable notes field.
Last, we’re really proud of the enhancements we made to public profiles. The new design gives you the ability to create a public presence that is professional in style, that has great search-engine-optimization, and that is truly public (not just a teaser to get visitors to sign up for or sign in to Plaxo).
We hope and believe the revamped profiles with do a better job of helping you:
- build and nurture your network
- stay up-to-date on the people important in your life and career, and
- connect you with the right people and opportunities.
If you haven’t gotten around to creating a presence on Plaxo, now is a great time, as we have also added a Profile Builder that makes creating a great dynamic and professional profile a snap!
