Every now and then it's good to take stock of the situation and by situation I mean the current feature set of our lovely platform, and by taking stock I really mean giving a general overview and now that I HAVE A BLOG (and so could you, look @Welcome, the entire land! )

Let's do this through the fictional world of "As a ..." lingo

As a normal and well adjusted (this part is optional) Human Person I can

• Setup a lovely and rich profile . A little about yourself, your education and work experience, your skills, software , spoken languages, etc -- I have no favorites, a few good examples here @Madilyn Stenkamp , @Ines Coimbra , @Maria Red and so many many many more :)
• Setup and keep your lovely portfolio -- like any of these OR THIS TOTALLY RANDOM ONE
• I can read all the articles we have
• I can write my own stuff (with the caveat of the closed beta)
• I can curate the content around me (again with a caveat)
• I can bookmark almost everything
• I can follow Spaces and Blogs and get notifications when new content shows up
• I can explore and join Spaces
• I can comment on things
• I can look for and apply to Job Opportunities
• I can look for and access a wonderful set of mentors and opportunities that come from time to time
• I can watch a whole lot of great Talks - from great career tips @More Than the Portfolio: Communication and Networking for Artists to being a good person in general with @Embracing the Art of Positive Feedback or immersive audio with @Immersive Audio: Emotion and Creativity.
• I can also apply to give talks when opportunities rise up
• I can also chat within some Spaces with likeminded folks
• I can enter Challenges
• I can JUDGE Challenges and provide feedback too :)
• I can sign up my company :)
• I can even follow this Platform's little community space and complain when something isn't right or suggest cool new things :)

phewwww

As a Company or Studio I can

• Setup my company public profile, with some of the profile richness as users and with the same portfolio tools
• I can also invite my coworkers to manage the company page
• I can use the Recruitment tools, we're still running a beta program for free for everyone, now's as good as time as any. Recruitment tools include Job Postings, Applicant tracking system, Online Interviews, Talent pool management, etc
• I can sponsor or run my own spaces and micro communities - run your ideas through us
• I can run an ads campaign on this lovely platform , talk to us if you do :)
• Companies can also provide mentorships , same as individual users - ask us how
• You can run your challenge or open innovation programs with us and our community, reach out if you want to know more (yes, I'm running out of ways to past our contact information in this post)
• You can also have your own blog , if you want to :)

That's it?

Not really :) but it's a good enough inventory for now I think. I've said this before but we're a small company with big dreams and we're walking this path in a very boomer MacGyver style, so my advice to everyone is stick around, watch as we shape this ball of yarn and keep in mind that we're Driven by a Mission, so while the path might be confusing, the destination might be a tad bit clearer :)
