Profilactic rolls out Version 2.1
Last night, we pushed out a handful of enhancements to Profilactic. Here is a quick rundown to what we launched:

1. JavaScript mashup badge
You can now take your Mashup content with you by copying and pasting a code snippet into your blog or website. The badge displays your most recent 7 Mashup items. See a sample in the right column of my blog.

2. Clippings - Mashup integration
That's a fancy way of saying that, when you add a clipping to Profilactic, that will be noted in your mashup.

3. Support for timezones
You can now specify which timezone you will live in. This is useful for getting all of your mashup entries, especially from sites like twitter or Jaiku, to have the right timestamp. You can set your timezone on your Edit Profile page.

Of course, because we're crafty, we also added a little code that will look at what timezone your computer is set to. If you don't set the timezone yourself, we'll take our best guess at it.

4. Improved Mashup and Clippings display
We made a few tweaks to the fonts and styles that control the Mashup and Clippings pages. The new pages are easier to read and scan.

5. Default favicon
If you add a custom site, we now have a default favicon that will get display next to the site name. This is a minor tweak; however, it makes the Where to Find Me Online list look better.

6. Loading indicator on Set up Sites page
We added a loading cursor to the Set up Sites page. Again, this isn't a huge deal; however, it is a helpful feedback mechanism as you are adding sites to your profile.
