The new profile editor gives xPeeps users the ability to customize specific portions of the page separately from each other, and allows them to conceal modules they don’t want to use in connection with their profile. If a member doesn’t want to display a profile photo, for example, they can disable that function, individually, without affecting the rest of their profile.
Suzann Knudsen, marketing director for xPeeps, told XBIZ that the profile editor is just the latest in a series of features that the site’s development team created based in large part on user feedback.
“In the process of our massive redesign, we posted questions for the users, asking what features they’d like to see,” Knudsen said. “As a community site, that’s the most important factor — to respond to user feedback, and give the community what it wants.”
None of the site’s older features have been disabled in the process of upgrading the profile editor, according to xPeeps, meaning that popular features like the ability for users to embed Pornotube.com media and add personal banners and links to external sites to their profile remain intact. The new editor also works in concert with upgrades introduced in August, including the photo album tool.
Knudsen said that xPeeps’ focus on providing its users with features that improve their experience has been key to the site’s growth, which continues at a healthy pace. According to Knudsen, the site currently has more than 580,000 registered users.
“It has been fun to watch it get bigger and develop,” Knudsen said. “xPeeps is really here to bridge the gap between the industry and the people.”
Knudsen said that one of her favorite aspects of xPeeps is the prospect of bringing adult entertainment fans into direct contact with their favorite performers — something that is far more practical in the online environment than in the physical world.
“People might think, ‘Victoria Givens will never talk to me,’” Knudsen said. “You know what — she just might on xPeeps.”
