There is no point to upload your work twice. Why re-upload to a portfolio when your presence on the web already is a portfolio?
People don't want to maintain their portfolios in addition to their social apps. And often times people will go for long periods without needing a portfolio in which time it falls into disrepair.
- Auto-Generating: Setting up a fully populated and presentable portfolio should take no more than a few simple clicks.
- Auto-Updating: Your Unfolio should stay up to date with your work even if you don't
- Auto-Organizing: A large number of content items might take forever to sort through. The system should help do this for you.
- Auto-Cleaning: If a website goes down or project disappears, dead links and pages should be hidden too.
A portfolio can be more than just a way to sell yourself. If people want to follow your work all across the web, it should be a central location where people can track everything going on with you.
You may use several different sites for one project or company. Having one place to view it all together means showing the relationship amongst it all. Your Unfolio should connect your content to each other in meaningful ways, and make it easy to browse through different aspects of your work through these relationships
People use blogs today as a chronological newsfeed to post pictures, plugins, tools and downloads. The problem is these are simply blog posts with attachments and diamonds in the rough can get lost to the archives. This is not how your content should be searched and browsed.
- Meaningfully Browseable: Projects, Artwork and Media should all be organized and browseable on it's own, not just by blog tags. Your content should never be lost to the archives section
- Blog Posts/Tweets are only Announcements: Content should never fall under a post, posts should fall under content. Announcement and updates discussing your work come out periodically, your work should be accessible without them.
- Rich Feeds & Embracing Variety: Your photos, projects, and movies are separate from blog posts and each other. This doesn't mean that their posts need to look identical. Remove the clutter and show what the work really is. Tumblr emphasizes variety, but doesn't present it properly, however Facebook presents a rich variety
Why does every resume on the web look flat and static? Your resume is the most meaningful representation of your work. It should be dynamic and interwoven with everything that you do and show it, organized in a meaningful way.
We know when you're looking for work you don't want employers seeing a "check out other similar developers" list on the side of your portfolio. Your site is YOUR site, you should get total creative and customization freedom, and it shouldn't look like just another factory-line generated site.
You can't search your Facebook timeline for awesome posts from months or years ago. Blogs don't show when someone has worked on blog post. Twitter only keeps your last hundred-or-so tweets. What happens when you actually NEED that awesome post or link you found a month ago? If you're LUCKY, the blogger tags, categorizes or stickies the good posts, but this is tedious and not everyone goes through the effort.
