Sometime I use my real photo,sometime I use a photo that expresses my current condition and sometime I use real meaningless image. This is my real photo I am using now.
I always avoid real pic because it always give that kind of funny feeling with your face appearing in every posts. Anyway, I only insert in for my profile photo.
I like the concept too. Makes one more real. But I too think if I reach 5000 post then i'll put on my picture
I think that’s a matter of personal choice. I use my own personal pic on DP but I don’t use it on several other forums and I actually don’t see any difference as far as trading goes. :=) I don’t think people will go buying your services just because they can "see" the real you...You are still just some anonymous person behind a computer after all, real photo or not.
here ya go My profile on my site, My blog, with my pic and Linkedin why would I want to look like my pic if it wasn't me..lol
