We've been getting good feedback from our early beta users of the profile widget and have incorporated a few suggestions. The biggest change has added support to the widget to choose whether to show which keywords match with the profiles found or to show interests from the profiles found. This is useful when you use a tag to create an ad-hoc grouping of people - like "2000bloggers" - and if that is the only keyword used for search, displaying that on every profile isn't all that interesting. But showing the user's interests is, uh, well, interesting.
Another change was to support "curved borders", but this only changes the display in the Firefox web browser. It doesn't mess up Internet Explorer, but the widget will just have the standard square corners. We'll have to wait until CSS3 is implemented before a simple approach like this works across all web browsers.
These changes are available via the widget wizard and you'll need to re-publish the widget to your blog to see the effect.
