This morning, we pushed out a bunch of tweaks, features and enhancements that takes Profilactic.com barely out of beta. Can't decide if we should call it "Barely 1.0" or "Barely out of beta." Guess, we'll have to think on that.



Anyway, here is what is new:

1. Faster mashups!
We've reworked the mashup code to make it much faster than before, especially when you're moving around on the site in the same session.

2. Archive
As part of the mashup rework, we are now saving all of the content you feed into the mashup. So 6 months from now, if you wanna find something you blogged about, you can search for it in your mashup. We'll be building this out more later; however, for now, take comfort in the fact that we have all of your stuff (wait, is that comforting? anyway...)

3. Search
Speaking of search, we've added some new search options. Mashup, Friends' Mashup, Clippings and People can all be searched now. The People Search is located in the header on all pages. The other searches are on their respective pages next to the filter options.

4. Favicons on WTFMO lists
This is a minor thing, but I think it makes the page look really snazzy. We're now pulling in the favicons for the sites in our default sites list.

5. Likeness
One of the totally new features in this release is Likeness. It helps you figure out which people you see on Profilactic are like you (and how much like you they are). It is a great way to find people to follow in your Friends' Mashup.

Some of the things we look at for likeness are your profile tags, your sites, your friends and the content you've bookmarked or dugg recently. If you are logged into the site, check out this page to see what it looks like:

You can see the likeness score for any member in the signature area of their pages (to the right of their username and avatar photo). See mine here:

I think that about covers it. So take a look at the new stuff and let us know what you think.

We're already hard at work on our next release (which will hopefully be ready in the next 30-45 days). It will have some of these long-awaited features:

1. Custom subheadings for your sites
2. Support for multiple accounts for the same site
3. Better twitter integration in mashups
4. Ability to choose what types of content (configurable per friend) shows up in your Friends' mashup
5. E-mail digest of Friends' mashup

As always, please send any bug reports to feedback at profilactic dot com.
