I'd like to share some updates regarding the bloggers here on Profy. Cyndy Aleo-Carreira has resigned from Profy and has announced she will be working at The Industry Standard. We wish Cyndy success on all of her future projects. We also learned last night from a post on Mashable that Leslie Poston and Triston McIntyre have also left. We wish them well on their future endeavors. I regret that the story was made public by a high-profile [...]

It's been absolutely insanely busy here at Web 2.0 Expo. It's great getting to meet so many people and showing them the Profy platform, but I'm also a little bit bummed I haven't been able to get around to more booths and attend more sessions. It's like Disneyland here: too much to do in four days to see and experience it all!
There've been some highlights so far. Twitter has definitely established itself as the go-to place for conferences, and [...]

As some of you may have noticed, yesterday Profy was down for more than 20 hours. Now that we have everything back up and running and our authors are back to the normal writing process, I would like to explain the situation. The reason for this problem is private switch network outage at our hosting provider which they explained in a blog post. Unfortunately Profy was in a reportedly small group of customers affected by this problem. As a result, [...]

Web 2.0 is a term that means different things to different people, but there are some common characteristics that seem to characterize Web 2.0: alpha or beta status. A certain look and feel to sites. Social aspects to the application (for the most part). Building something that should enhance something else (Facebook apps, browser plug-ins). Some things are also common that also crop up, like frequent down-time, or lack of a business plan that ends up with a site shuttered, [...]

Are you reading The Drama 2.0 Show? If not, you should be.
One of the hard parts of blogging about Web 2.0 is trying to maintain a balanced view of the latest and greatest in web technology as a whole. Note that I don't say each news item or review, because there will always be good and bad. The Drama 2.0 Show, which I assume most people interested in Web 2.0 are already reading, doesn't take that tack. Instead, it focuses [...]

I am a firm believer in the idea of competition. I think that without competition the market leaders will freeze and never grow further. This is true for all the industries and all the fields. That is why today I am happy to announce that Profy is a media partner of the new European web conference - Plugg. Plugg is intended to show the European perspective on Web 2.0. The one day event will take place in Brussels on March [...]

Profy has finally launched our very own blogging platform in alpha. We have been developing it here in Russia for more than a year now and the alpha release is a very important step. We were sitting and waiting nervously for the first reviews after the embargo was lifted and I think I will post links to some of the first reviews here to cordially thank all the bloggers.
Crenk was the first to break the story though I was a [...]

I don't know what the 2007th was like for you but I sincerely hope it was a good and lucky year and now that it is almost over, you are thinking of it with gratitude. And even if you now think this has been the best year of your life, I still want to wish you that the year 2008 will be at least twice as good. And even if the 2007th was not a particularly good year for you, [...]
