Probook Facebook Application

What is the Probook Facebook App?

Probook is a simple, but effective professional directory. When I first started playing around with it, it reminded me a lot of LinkedIn. What I like about Probook is that its a professional directory that’s parred down to the bare essentials. After installing the app, you are asked to select which profession you are in and give a brief description of yourself.  Friends and contacts you have made can give you a rating that potential employers could use as a basis for recommendations. They can also leave short feedback messages about you.

Probook Facebook App Pros

• Simple. Some apps are getting way to complicated. It’s nice to see one that values simplicity.
• Leverages social network by allowing you to rank your friends.
• Connect with others in your profession.

Probook Facebook App Cons

• There are few bugs. One that I noticed when I used it was when I was typing in the “About” box, instead of staying in the box, the text continued out of it.
• It would be nice if there were different categories for the rankings that deal with work like “creativity” or “work ethic” or “leadership.” That way employers will have a better view of your strength and weaknesses in these areas.
• Other than that, I couldn’t see any other improvements that could be made this app. Great job!
