This post is intended to report on the upgrade we have just performed on Profy. Below you will find the list of changes compared to the previous version:

• Blog search tool (powered by Sphere) - both for internal Profy blogs and external blogs
• Fixed quite a number of bugs in the feed reader and introduced styles for the posts shown in the feed reader
• Improved dashboard
• Fixed bug in the avatar upload process and avatar display in the profile (you will now have to experience it since as you might remember we have not managed to migrate the avatars of beta testers)
• Improved widgets for your blogs (introduced editing for the widgets)
• YouTube movies support for the blog posts

In general we have completed a number of code optimization tasks and thus improved the overall performance and load speed of the product.

As always, I will be looking forward to feedback from you for us to know where to move on.

I have been offered a very simple solution on how the My Network section could be made much more user-friendly.

Quoting Deborah Workman:

It seems that this would work better if instead of Friends/Who befriended you tabs, there was just one screen of friends with an icon or word that showed “Befriended by” status perhaps by displaying the username in that column, which perhaps could be sortable by clicking on the header. I suggest that the view toggles be placed at the top of the screen (either only or additionally) so that the user does not have to scroll to the bottom of a long list to choose this option.

So I thought about doing it Netscape or StumbleUpon style maybe to make this more visible. Any ideas from other testers on how you would want to work with your friends within Profy?
