We're live with the Open Profile. We're testing it with our top 1000 most active users (well, those that are opting in for our newsletter, anyway), and taking feedback in advance of our formal release.

In this preview release, the new, customizable Open Profile lets you personalize the identity you share on tribe.net. This includes:

- Choosing which friends are shown on your profile
- Choosing which tribes are shown on your profile
- Adding a blog to your profile
- Featuring a large-format photo on your profile
- Choosing the order of display for any content on your profile

As I've said in my previous backgrounder on the Open Profile, this is really just the first step. Right now we're focused on letting users have precise control over the content they put on their profiles, and in the near future we'll work on letting users fully personalize the presentation of that content. And, because we're also focused group interactions, I can't wait until we take a close look at making tribes flexible and customizable too.

Check it out. I think you'll like it.
