I’ve made a change to speed up loading the ‘Search Articles’ page, removing a delay of as much as 6 seconds. It’s beautifully quick once again.

Further usability improvements are planned for that page, but I thought this was worth passing on.

The formerly rather messy Actor page has been reorganised into a new set of tabs:

• Activity
• Profile – searchable and customisable information about that Actor
• Reputation (not yet implemented)
• Blogs and Feeds – register your blog here, and any feeds you contribute to
• Groups – that you’re a member of
• Following… – people you follow
• Visual Timeline 1
• Visual Timeline 2

Things are certainly a lot cleaner and tidier now, and it’s clearer what functionality we provide. Hope it improves the overall experience!
