Right. 24 hours to edit.

Good point. I'll think about that one. You should have a chance at the prizes.
I'm not interested in your prizes, Henry, I just wanted to see how easy it was to "complete" a profile without giving away too much privacy.
That's the idea! Thanks for helping...
Glad I helped - wasn't really my intention at the time
I'd just like to see the level of professionalism rising around here.
You seem more interested in quantity.
Cilian
P.S. Feel free to delete my postings (I tried to delete the first one myself but couldn't). Seriously.

Hello Ivette,
I read the same thing on the Profile Updater and I submitted a Support Ticket about it, so it WAS there before. As far as I know you didn't misunderstand anything, it was there and I was annoyed at the fact that if you didn't want to give out private information you would be excluded from premium job bids and that uncertain directory that was mentioned. And I'm not igniting any fires here.

| What is the URL Henry? | Dec 19, 2006 |
Henry wrote: Dear Members, This is the latest update. The industry is taking note Project Connect has not gone unnoticed by industry publications. The publisher Multilingual Computing featured our announcement of a new "sourcing" platform in its email newsletter. Also, industry analysts Common Sense Advisory reports: "The universe of translators is limited, so all [language companies] draw on the same pool of professionals. In many cases, they manage their own internal databases... Translators, on the other hand, want to distinguish themselves [so they send their CV's to companies]... All in all, this labor exchange is an inherently inefficient process...
We think that [ProZ.com] has the potential to eliminate some of the friction in the currently flawed employment system...
Until the acquisition of Trados by SDL the translation technology market had been dormant. Proz for Employers is one of the novel solutions..."- Common Sense Advisory Additional press coverage was obtained when the new platform was used to source professionals for a not-for-profit project in which subtitling of a film on 2006 Nobel Peace Prize winner Muhammad Yunus was performed into up to 100 languages with the help of ProZ.com professionals found using the new platform. See the press release. Henry
Hi Henry,
I clicked on the link you've kindly provided and I can't find this report. The website refers to 2005 companies and ProZ is not included on that list. Please let us know where we can verify this information.

Belkis

Hi Belkis,
I already got this clarified (in the first page of this thread, by Henry). I am satisfied with the answer/clarification I received, so, like I said, I am looking forward to next year's improvements in Proz.
About the link of the report Henry quoted, here it is, just in case you didn't have a chance to find it yet:
http://www.commonsenseadvisory.com/news/global_watchtower_one.php?wat_id=326
Hope that helps.
Happy Holidays,
Ivette

You seem more interested in quantity.
Ours is a community, a network, and as such it improves with the addition of each qualified professional. If that sounds like market-speak, look at it this way: when you need help with a Turkish yachting term, it would be helpful for there to be among our community professionals with expertise in the area.
The key word here is "professionals", but you should understand that we have to be interested both in quality and quantity. We are interested in quality - and sometimes quantity helps achieve quality.
P.S. Feel free to delete my postings (I tried to delete the first one myself but couldn't). Seriously.
Why would I? Why would you? I don't see any reason for you to regret anything you wrote. (If you meant harm with the first post, that fact was lost on me.)

Henry, the problem is that the "qualified professionals" are outnumbered by the "others", so the net result is a severe deterioration, not an improvement.
Wasted potential,
