New Social Networking Fields on SimpleMachines.org
AngelinaBelle:
Dear Users,
SimpleMachines.org has grown not just as a forum support community but also as a place to socialize with each other and prove a helping hand to your fellow users. With that in mind, we have now introduced three custom profile fields for Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn as they are the most popular social networking sites around. This will allow you to grow your network further and get in touch with fellow forum owners and professionals.
We may even introduce a few more social networking fields in the future, without making the profile area overflow with icons. We encourage you to add links to your profile and get in touch with other users in the SMF community. We hope that all users will welcome this step towards a more friendly and social community.
We sincerely hope you appreciate it and will use it!

is this option only for SMF 2.0? and When will we meet SMF 2.0 instead of SMF 1.1.2312312?
Thank you for answers...
(F.L.A.M.E.R):
Forgot to add this. :)
Please note: These changes are not made to the core functionality of the software. You will not find these custom profile fields added to your profile by default when a fresh copy (any version) of Simple Machines Forum is installed.

Yes. However, this blog post was regarding this forum in particular.
Go to your profile to setup your social networking links.

I have read it. What can I do next? I have not found such a section in my forum settings.
Best wishes,
