Provides

A central location for you to view and manage all of your documents, tasks, links, calendar, colleagues, and other personal information.

A way for other users to learn about you and your areas of expertise, current projects, and colleague relationships.

A place for content providers to target information to you based on the information that you and your organization provide in your profile, such as your title, department, and interests.

A place for administrators to present personalized Web sites.
