Using MySite Profile Details

From ctowiki

Think of WSU mySite as your Professional counterpart to your Facebook or MySpace site.

The mySite Profile Details (Responsibilities, Skills, Past Projects and Interests) work in conjunction with the Colleague Tracker. Data should be input in both Details and Colleagues for best effect.
