It's been a while since I posted here. Lot's of interesting stuff in my backlog that I'll be getting to over the next few days.

A while back I mentioned that Tribe.net was working on a new profile system. After months of testing, the new features are live for all members.

Users can add modules like lists, free-text, blogs, photos, share RSS feeds, amazon wish lists and much more.

You can edit the layout and styles as well. Like MyYahoo but much cleaner.

I especially like the My Testimonials option. The online dating space must move past background checks to reputation management. Background checks will always need to be an option to members, but peer-review is cheaper to implement, more fun for users and if implemented correctly with the right functionality, can let users manage their reputations effectively.

I, like most people, have a fascination with reading what people have to say about their friends. Testimonials are a great ego-driver. Next generation will rate testimonials like amazon recommends. Lot's of new ways to slice and dice these new dimensions for matching people.
