- While purofīru is a loanword, Japanese users often use the word jiko shōkai meaning 'self-introduction' to describe the actual text content of their profile page.
- If you were to use the word ようこそ (yōkoso) in a more traditional setting, it might carry a weight of hospitality similar to being welcomed into someone's home rather than just a digital space.
