So, you’ve got a great profile but, so far, no one seems interested. You’ve tried everything: enticing headlines, fun information about yourself, everything…except a photo. Did you know that members with profile pictures are 7 times more likely to receive a message? A picture really is worth a thousand words.

When you talk to people online there is a wonderful lack of background information. Generally, I’m in favour of the ‘all-the-information-you-can-get-your hands-on’ theory, but in this case less is better. Talk to someone face-to-face and you can’t help making judgements about them, based on their height, race, clothes, gender etc. Sandra Bullock said on the ‘Oprah Winfrey Show’ that she’d met a redneck with tattoos, a baseball cap, and work boots, and had assumed that he was both racist and stupid.

The Internet is like New York, a city that never sleeps, except for the fact that it is not actually a city. The Web’s ‘anytime’ nature is a boon for people who want to talk to someone at 4 am such as anyone who is doing shift work. Before the Internet, if you finished work at 4 am, the only people awake were other shift workers such as your co-workers. The only people you could unwind with after work were the co-workers you probably wanted to get away from. Your only company were the people you were most likely to want to complain about to some understanding third party.
