Happy New Year! It has been a little while since our last blog post, but we are still working away. Today's big announcement: the extended profile. Many bloggers have posted about this and I feel like it is a positive change. This is just another way that the more engagement focused apps can rise to the top. As you can see, it has helped me a lot (I have way too many apps).
This feature will help make the application developers think more about their users. Facebook has come a long way from the early days, when bright, ugly buttons demanded profile viewers add a particular application. Now, users have even more control over what is displayed on their profile.
I think the big winners will be photo applications (a little biased maybe.....). Social Network users enjoy displaying photos of themselves and will not want to demote good photo apps to the extended profile. Photo applications can have some of the most relevant and interesting profile boxes.
Other applications that do not provide as much relevant content (Vibrating Hamster) will most likely be the first to be banned to the extended profile. Hopefully this move will help show off the more useful and engaging apps, and we are trying to make PhotoGraph one of those apps.
