OAuth, XFN and Friends

In the past few weeks a number of new features have been enabled for Proofile. Friend connections with full XFN support are now available. Labels for more granular privacy settings are planned and should be available soon, this will enable users to specify who sees what on their profile.

We've also added OAuth authentication support to our API, giving the user full control over their data, regardless from where the API's are accessed. We have prepared some screenshots guiding through the client service authorization process.

Proofile has the richest and most portable profiles to date, making it an ideal hub for profile data - wherever you go, take your profile with you! For an analogy as to what Proofile offers:
Gravatar is for avatars what Proofile is for profiles ... and avatars

For future releases we will be working on APML, Google Social Graph API and expanding our API with useful tools such as a friend-finder.
