Last week, I started testing Profy, a new social blogging platform that’s in by-invitation alpha testing.
All things blogging in one application, is how the service describes itself with services that include a blog, RSS reader, and social network tools like messaging, all managed from a central dashboard.
I’ve done only a few things so far such as set up a blog there.
I can’t say much more at the moment, though, as the email confirming my registration included this:
[...] Currently, Profy testers are not allowed to share information about the product by any means, including posting information and screenshots on blogs, sharing Profy pages on social bookmarking services, or share your login and/or password information with other people.
You’ll have to make do with the TechCrunch review for the time being.
[Later] Situation clarified. In a comment to this post, Profy.com founder Svetlana Gladkova says sharing info about the product is now permitted.

Neville, thanks a lot for posting this on your blog. In fact, the email text remained unchanged due to a very stupid mistake of ours from the previous version (when I asked the testers not to blog about the platform). Right now we have lifted the embargo - thus you can see reviews on TechCrunch, Webware, CenterNetworks and a number of other blogs. So you can feel absolutely free to publish any reviews you want and I will have the text removed from the confirmation email ASAP. And thank you for reading the email - looks like you are the first user that has actually read it
Thanks for that clarification, Profy!
Thank you for pointing this to me, we have fixed this the very same day so now we won’t cause such confusion again.
