Abstract

A method implementable in an electronic system coupled to an electronic device, which is, in turn, coupled to a display device. In an embodiment, a first set of selectable tags is generated, each of the first-set tags corresponding to a respective vocational characteristic. In response to first user input, a displayable selection field is populated with a first subset of the selectable tags. In response to second user input, the first-subset tags are ranked according to relevance to at least one quality of the user. A profile of the user is generated using at least one ranked tag.

Claims

1. A computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions for performing steps comprising:

generating a first set of selectable tags, each of the first-set tags corresponding to a respective vocational characteristic;

in response to first input of a user, populating a displayable selection field with a first subset of the selectable tags;

in response to second input of the user, ranking the first-subset tags according to relevance to at least one quality of the user; and

generating a profile of the user using at least one ranked tag.

2. The medium of claim 1 wherein at least one of the first-set tags is generated in response to data input by the user.

3. The medium of claim 2 wherein the data comprises a search string.

4. The medium of claim 3 wherein the at least one first-set tag comprises a term of the search string.

5. The medium of claim 3 wherein the at least one first-set tag corresponds to a vocational characteristic related to a term of the search string.

6. The medium of claim 1 wherein the first user input comprises selecting at least one of the first-subset tags from a selection field generated within a user interface.

7. The medium of claim 1 wherein the first user input comprises creating an electronic account.

8. The medium of claim 1 wherein the second user input comprises dragging and dropping the first-subset tags within the selection field.

9. The medium of claim 1 wherein the selection field comprises first and second subfields.

10. The medium of claim 1 wherein the second user input comprises placing a predetermined number of most relevant tags in the first subfield.

11. The medium of claim 10 wherein the profile is generated using only tags placed in the first subfield.

12. The medium of claim 1 wherein the profile is generated using only first-subset tags of at least a predetermined rank.

13. A computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions for performing steps comprising:

generating in a user interface a first selection field;

displaying in the first selection field a first set of selectable tags, each of the first-set tags corresponding to a respective vocational characteristic;

in response to first input of a user, populating a second field with a first subset of the selectable tags; and

generating a profile of the user using at least one tag of the first subset.

14. The medium of claim 13 wherein the first user input comprises selecting at least one of the first-set tags from the first selection field.

15. The medium of claim 13, further comprising in response to second input of the user, ranking the first-subset tags according to relevance to at least one quality of the user.

16. The medium of claim 15 wherein the second user input comprises dragging and dropping the first-subset tags within the second selection field.

17. The medium of claim 15 wherein the second selection field comprises first and second subfields.

18. The medium of claim 17 wherein the second user input comprises placing a predetermined number of most relevant tags in the first subfield.

19. The medium of claim 18 wherein the profile is generated using only tags placed in the first subfield.

20. The medium of claim 15 wherein the profile is generated using only first-subset tags of at least a predetermined rank.

21. A method implementable in an electronic system, comprising the steps of:

displaying in a first web page at least one descriptor of a first vocational characteristic;

receiving from a user an indication of the descriptor;

in response to the indication, displaying in the page a selectable icon;

receiving from the user a selection of the icon; and

in response to the icon selection, generating a profile of the user including a description of the first vocational characteristic.

22. The method of claim 21, wherein the descriptor comprises a hyperlink.

23. The method of claim 22, further comprising:

receiving a selection of the hyperlink; and

in response to receiving the hyperlink selection, displaying a second web page including a hyperlink describing a second vocational characteristic topically related to the first vocational characteristic.
