Could you prevent picture-less users from having their icons displayed in the "Members" preview of a group? It's really unfortunate how many Brazen members don't have profile photos, and I suspect it sends a very negative signal to people evaluating a group when it looks like half of the members are anonymous and likely inactive.

Absolutely love the new "notes" feature at Network Roulette! Much easier to manage and access than the multiple notepad files I've got saved from past NR events. Great idea, Team Brazen!

Anybody else hate that clicking "refresh" reposts the most recent thing you typed instead of just refreshing your feed? I know I can click the "Home" button instead, but I frequently forget and hit refresh because that's practical for most other websites I use.

I see there's a "What I Know About Getting a Job" eBook offer for folks who sign up. Any way us existing users can get our grubby little hands on one?

Edward, thanks for the feedback and that's a good point. We will work on developing one that is e-reader friendly.

Maybe it would be a good idea to show activity in the groups lists. A group having 1000+ members doesn't add much value if it hasn't been posted to in a while. Showing this information when searching would help save time deciding what groups to join

I took a "leave of absence" from Brazen for awhile, and I've had a huge itch to hop on here and see what's been going down because I miss you good people. And you know what's so great about social networks? They keep on chugging, percolating ideas & discussions, and connecting people. You can pop right in, join the action, and feel right at home even if you've been gone for a little while. I'm deeply appreciative of the many "homes" I can return to in this beautiful global community.

However the thought just occurred to me that even more people would join and use this group if it were highlighted on the menu bar or as a button (e.g. - next to the search box in the upper right hand corner of the page) - more visibility.

It would be great if there was a way to view all the groups you're in when you want to add them to post. I find myself opening another tab to see which groups the message would be targeted to the best - would be much easier if it was built into the system. This also might stop users from individually posting the same message across multiple groups.
Ryan Healy:
Great point, Eric! I've wanted to do this for a while, I need to add it to the list!

I'm posting this in the Brazen Community Feedback network. I just wanted to see if a Community Manager could respond. Everything we post on BC, even though it's a password protected site, shows up in full text in Google results. Is there any way to turn this off? I can see why it's helpful for some people to get increased visibility, but people are asking very personal questions on here about the jobs they have and hate, and I just think it would be nice to be able to "hide" posts from Google.

I'd like to be able to post questions visible to members only, or my fans only.

Hey Brazen! We're going to be testing a few new features on Network Roulette this Thursday at 12 PM ET.

If you'd like to participate in this unique opportunity to network with the top Brazen members AND try out the new and improved Network Roulette, please let me know! Reply to this post or send me a quick email to info@brazencareerist.com subject: Top User NR!

This NR was not very helpful for me. Maybe it's because I had high expectations coming in. I got matched up with the same 3 people 3 time each. All 3 of them were from the IRS. Since I'm not a citizen, I'm not eligible to work there.
On the upside, I did talk to 2 other people. And that might lead somewhere. I wish there would have been more recruiters though.

Hey Brazen Community! I want to crowdsource some feedback from you.
First, would you be interested in a virtual event where we'd connect you with our community's top bloggers? If we hosted this, would you also want to talk to other up-and-coming bloggers as well?
Second, would there be any value for our community in hosting another virtual event to connect career and life coaches with aspiring professionals?
Third, are you interested in being a featured blogger? Let me know!

I started blogging when I joined Brazen - and did it for fun, to vent, etc. It's turned into a writing gig for FORBES, being on Alltop, etc (THANK YOU BRAZEN SUPPORTERS!!!). One of my posts has just been published in a book ( ; It's pretty badass - "life lessons from the top writers on the internet". I wrote a short intro here, but I'm pretty sure all you "self improvement"/"personal growth" junkies will enjoy - pls download and love it! http://bit.ly/gQZXAT let me know what u thnk

It would be nice to be able to clear out the list of people the website wants us to connect with from Network Roulette. I have 60...most of which I didn't actually speak with but left the conversation after a few seconds. A button to hide NR from the home page would be nice as well. I don't need to see it 24/7 and pushes the actual conversations "below the fold"
