"What I am working on", or WIWO, allows language professionals to record updates on projects they are working on in real time. These can then be searched to find professionals reporting work on projects like those you are seeking to fill. If you want to promote yourself in your areas of expertise, WIWO is one way of doing it. It is also an opportunity to connect with peers who work in your fields, languages, and software. As of June, just over 30,000 projects have been recorded via WIWO. In this newsletter, you will be able to see some examples of recent project posts. https://www.proz.com/wiwo/ Advertisement ------------------------------------ SDL Trados Studio 2019 – Download the Preview Brochure Get a sneak preview of the new features coming in SDL Trados Studio 2019.

New buttons in the forums allow you to click to agree with the content of a post. The number of agrees for each post are also displayed. In addition, networking buttons have been added in the "What I am working on" feature, to allow you to like a project post or to indicate that you also work on similar projects or in similar fields. If you want to check out how this works in the forums, why not stop by this thread discussing a recent quick poll question, "Would you normally work with an agency that uses a 60-day payment term?" https://www.proz.com/topic/326245 Advertisement ------------------------------------ Wordfast is the world's number #1 provider of platform-independent translation memory software.
