One thing our users love about CloudProfile is that they can talk about their passions in one place and then be discovered everywhere including search, social media, and local web directories. Thanks to the partnership that Twitter and LinkedIn formed today, you can now take that another step further and easily push your CloudProfile posts automatically all the way through to a LinkedIn profile.
This is most relevant to scenarios where CloudProfile is being used by an individual rather than by a business, but we are seeing a lot of that happening as well as businesses rolling out CloudProfile's to each of their team members.
The video below shows how to set it up, which takes less than 1 minute.
We're busy bees and there is an update just released that will improve CloudProfile as a social marketing hub for all of our users. Here are a few of the highlights:
• Improvements to our already-rocking built-in search engine optimization (SEO). The piece I'm most excited about is the Bing API integration we've done to help your content to be found in Bing just as quickly as it is already found in Google.
• New photo uploader on Photos tab with syndication control on photos just as you have it with the rest of your content.
• Improved post-by-email capabilities to make it easier to talk about your business while on the move.
• New built-in background image library and expanded color themes to enable you to get your profile looking great even more quickly.
• Updates to the CloudProfile API requested by third party developers. Some big new benefits will come to our users within the next few weeks based on this including rich mobile apps for profile owners.
• Private beta of CloudProfile Chat, which enables profile owners to chat and instant message with their visitors just as easily as they can with our other engagement tools (e.g. commenting, sharing, click-to-call, etc.).
• Performance tuning to make everything that much faster for profile owners and visitors.
• And as always, various bug fixes and tweaks to continue to make things better.
Lot's of other super cool stuff in process that will come with the next release, but keep your suggestions coming about what you think we can do to make CloudProfile more useful and we'll do our best to roll it into our roadmap. We love the feedback we're getting and will continue to listen to you!
We just pushed out a release tonight that contains a range of solid improvements.
Here are some of the highlights:
- Improvements to how we handle photos making it easier to manage galleries, move photos between them, automatically create new galleries when you create a new post with multiple newly uploaded photos, and more.
- Improved "getting started" experience will provide new users with more guidance when they sign up.
Here are some of the behind the scenes improvements that you may not notice directly:
- Better automated RSS feeds contain all of the photos, videos and links associated with every post.
- Expanded content publishing APIs to enable some 3rd party apps that are being built on top of CloudProfile.
- Improvements to our integration with Twitter. Twitter can be fickle sometimes and we've built in some extra layers to avoid troubling our users with any issues Twitter is experiencing.
- A bunch of bug fixes, hopefully most of which were fixed before you were confronted with them.
What's on deck for next week?
- Bi-directional Facebook integration so that you can both publish to Facebook Accounts and Pages (as you can today) while also managing your customer engagement, comments, etc. from within CloudProfile.
- And lots of additional polish.
Let usknow your feedback and we'll incorporate the best suggestions into our plans for the next 1-2 weeks.
