I've just noticed some new fields when editing my profile. Filling them in doesn't seem to display anything so do they have any use or is this a feature in progress?

Uh-oh. I hope this doesn't ruin my favorite Meta answer of all time: "Stack Overflow is not a social networking site!"– Cody GrayAug 18, 2011 at 8:18

3@Cody Actually I think this would help with that. With links available in profiles, they should stop asking for social features here, right?– JohnAug 20, 2011 at 13:36

1Update for anyone wondering... sometime after this question was posted, these fields have vanished from the profile edit form.– ckittelAug 25, 2011 at 20:51

1Now you tell me. I moved all my contact info to those fields ^^– James P.Aug 26, 2011 at 10:26

@Cody: Don't worry, if the whole of the web goes social the internet will go sentient and we will absorbed into an electronic overmind.– James P.Aug 26, 2011 at 10:27

@James: From what I've seen of "social networking", that's not a real big concern. There's nothing remotely "sentient" about it.– Cody GrayAug 26, 2011 at 16:34

I'll have to agree with you on that :D– James P.Aug 27, 2011 at 8:56

*poke* I was just reminded by this related feature request that these fields had existed. I think they were removed not long after being added. Has the idea been discarded, or is it still status-planned?
