Professional Networking Application on Facebook

Over the last few months, we have been gathering feedback and input from professionals on Facebook and we are excited to officially launch our Professional Networking application. This is the first of our Open Network Applications which give users access to their professional profile and network while on other social networking sites. In the coming weeks, we will be releasing similar Professional Networking applications on other networking sites including Bebo, Friendster, MySpace, HI5 and Orkut.

Some cool things about the app.

1. Here is the link - http://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=10054611566
2. You can now have a “Professional” tab on Facebook. How cool is that!
3. You can access all your connections and network with them from the app itself
4. You can also search for new connections and start building your professional network on Facebook.
5. View and apply for jobs and internships through the app

NetHooks Major Update - Profile pages Screenshots

Over the last month we have been working on updating the Profile pages to improve visibility and organization of information. We have finally completed the redesign and I think we are satisfied with how it looks, at least for now. Here are some of the changes that are currently live on the site.


PROFILE PAGE

RESUME PAGE

PERSONAL PAGE

Register using Facebook Connect and LinkedIn Url

Just another way NetHooks is making networking more effective. New users now can easily register for a NetHooks account without actually going through the usual registration process. Through Facebook Connect and LinkedIn Url, users can easily import their existing profile into NetHooks at registration.

We understand that users spend fair share of their time creating profiles on sites such as Facebook and LinkedIn. So instead of subjecting our users to create yet another profile, new users can now simply import their LinkedIn or Facebook profile to their NetHooks profile. This will allow NetHooks users to spend more time interacting with others and building a stronger profile.

Messages on Email…Yes, Finally!!

Among other fixes that we have done on the messaging system, I am thrilled to report that NetHooks has made it easier for users to view their incoming messages directly on their email client without having to go to the NetHooks website to read it. This is actually one of my personal favorite updates among all the others.

NetHooks Loading Issue

Hi Everyone,

We want to inform everyone that you may experience extra delay in accessing some pages such as Connection page and Connection Request Accept box on NetHooks website. We are currently working on the issue and should get the site up, in speed very soon.

Thanks for your patience.

NetHooks Design Updates

Over the past months NetHooks team has been working hard to implement users’ feedback and suggestions on the site.  We have just completed a whole lot of changes on NetHooks from design to features and functionalities. Starting from the next few days, you will start seeing some of the changes that will be implemented on the site.

Thank you to all our users who have taken time to express ways that we can make the site better and more effective for users. Keep an eye out for our updates and if you don’t already have an account, we invite you to sign-up for our private beta.
