We could look to enable links in the bio if folks feel it's valuable. If it is, what would be the most common things you'd link too?
First, thanks to Wentzel for suggesting this! I've thought this SOOOO many times and kept forgetting to make a fuss.
Sean,
Here are all the things I would use it for:
- To link to my blogs (I have two related blogs -- professional and Wiki). Currently I link to one of them.
- To link to my Twitter. I have two related Twitter accounts that I would link to -- professional and Wiki. I drop the URL in the profile even though it's not a link. Just so folks can copy and paste it.
- To link to my favorite Wiki pages that include links out to other Wiki pages. So I can evangelize my work a little better.
- To link to my LinkedIn profile. Some people might use a Facebook link instead or in addition to this.
- Some people might link to a company site (in addition to their blog). I might link to a SQL Server site that shows off our products.
- Some people might want to just include a link to their professional email. I would. It just opens up so much more communication. An alternative is a personal message (PM) or a message box that sends out to your email (if spam is an issue).
- Some people might want to link to forums that they are moderators for (or frequent).
Thanks!
