Here’s a new one for you: Facebook is currently testing a feature that would allow users to add profile tags to their pages. The tags, ranging from skills to emojis (!), are very similar to the section of LinkedIn’s website that allows your colleagues to endorse you for various skills.
Via The Next Web, a Facebook spokesperson added the following tidbit of information: “In addition to the standard ways of letting people know who you are on your Facebook profile, profile tags let you express your identity in a more informal way.”
Profile tags aren’t just endorsements – they’re another way Facebook users can publicly share their interests and skills with other users. Facebook will also let users choose unique tags – not just pre-populated tags from a list – so the possibilities are virtually endless.
