exaroom.com, a social file-sharing network that seeks to combine social networks with legitimate file-sharing, today unveiled the addition of customizable user profiles and a file-sharing web widget that will enable users to more easily socialize and share files, bridging the gap between the social networking and file-sharing communities.

"Our goal is to create a social network where you can easily, securely, and responsibly share files," said Song Kim, founder of exaroom. "Our new user profile page brings us a step closer to creating this community."

Like user profiles on other social networks, members can post their own content and information. But unlike other sites, exaroom's focus is on ease of use and flexibility. Taking advantage of advanced AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) and DHTML technologies, exaroom's user profiles are completely dynamic; customized directly through the exaroom interface.

In addition to profiles, exaroom also introduced its file-sharing web widget. Widgets can be embedded into web pages on other websites, such as MySpace, thus giving users exaroom's file-sharing functionality in whatever social networking community they choose.

"We cannot ignore the fact that many people are socializing on other sites as well as ours," adds Kim. "We're all about sharing, and we wanted to make things easy; that once something is shared on exaroom, it can be accessed anywhere. Whether it's from our site or someone else's, we want to be flexible for our users."

The launch of these two new features marks a milestone for exaroom. With the inclusion of their own hosted user profile pages, exaroom now offers a complete social networking experience. And with the addition of their file-sharing widget, they reach out beyond their own boundaries to bring social file-sharing to other networks.

Ultimately, it's a win-win for members of social networks and file-sharers, with these two exaroom features bringing more functionality to both communities.
