Newsletter

Hello,

Here is the second edition of the proagora.com newsletter. This time, I'd like to announce new services that we have implemented on the site. We also announce TheServerSide Java Symposium Europe.

The first of the new features that I wish to let you know about is the ability to manage messages sent to experts by companies.
As a company, you can now keep track of the messages that you have sent, thanks to the "My messages" page, which is accessible from the "My account" menu.

Other feature: you can now manage message templates. This allows you to avoid typing the same message several times or using copy-and-paste.

We hope that you'll find this new tool useful. However, we invite you to send targeted and customized messages. It's more efficient and pleasant for experts to receive messages that are addressed to them personally and that concern them, rather than general and impersonal messages.
To ensure that you don't contact an expert inadvertantly twice in a row, we now indicate clearly if you have already contacted a given expert before and when.

As an expert, you can find the messages that you've received in the "My messages" section of the "My account menu".

Note: for the moment, you'll see the messages sent after January 24, 2008.

To finish with the new features, you'll be able to see the "Add This" buttons displayed at the bottom of each page, and more prominently on profiles and job offers. These buttons allow you to add pages to your favorites or share them on sites such as del.icio.us, StumbleUpon, Blogmarks, and many more.

That's all for today. I'll keep the rest for the next edition of this newsletter :-)
Feel free to contact me if you have questions or suggestions.

Regards,
Fabrice Marguerie

Hello,

Here is the first newsletter from proagora.com. I take this occasion to wish you a happy year and a lot of success with all your projects.

In this edition, we'd like to let you know that we've just started a new wave of updates on the website, and announce TheServerSide Java Symposium.

Since its opening last year, the proagora.com website has evolved by taking into account all your remarks. Please, continue to send us your feedback. We are listening to what you say.
We've seen more than 400 registered users, and hundreds of brand new job offers targeting .NET and Java have been published. Thank you for being part of this success! (note: most accounts and job offers are in French at the moment)

In each edition of our newsletter, we will present you a feature of the site. This time, we would like to let you know about the ability to promote your profile.
Whether you are an expert or a company, you may have noticed that you can easily put a link to your proagora.com profile on your sites or blogs. All you have to do is to copy the HTML block that is provided at the bottom of your profile management page:

Here is how this link would look like on your site:

Expert or company, do not hesitate to use this feature to gain visibility. Don't forget also to update your profile!

We will get back to you soon with another edition of our newsletter. We have a lot of new features to announce!
