The beta is now open to the public
OK, all of the initial beta tests can stop wearing those "I'm in the Profilactic beta and you're not!" t-shirts. We've opened the beta to the public and have deployed some snazzy new features and fixes.

The big addition is the Friends' Mashup. Now you can add someone to your Friends list and have their content feed into your Friend's Mashup. This is just the first phase, but I think it is still pretty cool. It pulls everything that your Friends have done over the past 14 days.

Other improvements include a performance boost for the mashup pages, support for more sites including Multiply, ma.gnolia, Pandora and Last.fm, grouping of similar items like Bookmarks, Dugg and Favorites, the ability to find other members like you (click on a tag in your profile page) and a few other little tidbits.

So tell your friends to sign up and start kicking the site around. And, as always, let us know what you think.

But remember, we're still in beta, so you may see a few things that are still a little rough around the edges. Just know that we're working hard to get those things worked out.

Thanks.

I wonder how many I can get to sign up now that it's in open beta?
Friends mashup is nice but - as I sent a mail w while ago - it is still not possible to browse for friends. So how can I add friends/colleagues/acqaintances/alikes/...? Wild guessing?

A search function is a must have. Else I don't see the point of having this friends feature.
Hi Claudio,
The only way to find others right now is to use the tags in your own profile.

So if you click on one of your interests, you will see others that share it.

We are currently working on getting a search (and another pretty snazzy feature) that will make finding people much, much easier.
