Comments on: Profy attempts a more social, and utilitarian blogging platform

How's the new blogging platform from Profy? Not too bad, actually. It's a good start.

Josh,

Thanks a lot for this fabulous review, you have really spent quite some time to share as much with your readers as possible. This is really what professional blogging means.

I also wanted to let you know that the current functionality of the platform only represents about 20% of the roadmap so we will be adding new features (like more tools to configure your blog and publishing from Profy to your existing blogs on your own domains, etc) so eventually more experienced bloggers will be able to find all the tools they need on Profy.

P.S. One more thing: our blog is not a competitor, we actually launched the blog with the platform in mind, not the blog for the blog itself. And the more tech blogs, the better we all become, don't you think so?

Excellent preview! It seems to me that this is more like a social network rather than blogging platform. I always feel that wordpress lacks social feature. This one looks a little like stumbleupon, am I right?

In fact, StumbleUpon is more for content discovery, while Profy is aimed at content creation and sharing. We were actually trying to build something unique and the initial feedback shows we have managed. The social implication of Profy really is unique for the existing blogging platform. Well, such platforms as LiveJournal and Vox do offer some social functionality but we offer more features like viewing what users read and connect to them based on your common interests.
