I am amazed at the popularity of the testbp.org social network, it has morphed into so much more than a demo. People are using it for so much more than a demo! I suggest we add some fields to everyones profile to aid the growth of the network and help people connect. Certain information needs to be private and not visible outside testbp.org. Here are my suggestions:
Basic Profile Information
- Networks – Possibly able to create and/or choose network
- Sex – Radio box with options for Male/Female/Alien
- Birthday – Date selector
- Company Name – Text Field
- Position
- Company Website – Text Field
About Me
- Summary – Multi-line text box
- Specialties – WordPress Tags would work well here
- Interests – Multi-line text box
- Hometown – Text-box
- Country – Selector
User on the Web
- WPMU and/or BuddyPress Websites – Multi-field allowing up to 3 entries to avoid spam
- WordPress Websites
- Social Profiles
- Flickr
- YouTube
- Plaxo
- Delicious
- Many more to choose from
Contact Information | Personal and/or Work
- Mobile
- Telephone
- Address
- Google Talk
- Skype
- Website
Education and Work
Need to be able to add multiple positions:
- Employer
- Position
- Time Period
- Location
- Description
Need to be able to add multiple entries:
- Educational Institute
- Years
- Graduation Year
- Qualification
Thats all I can think of for now, maybe we dont need all this information, but being able to add more info would definately help people find each other on testbp.org.
Feedback would be great?!
Im not putting my age anywhere and most of the women I know lie on those anyway so not much point there. But a box asking if over a certain age is good.
gonna add some to my site LOL
