Just checking them out. Sometimes I go to join up and it says "That email address is in use" > I forgot I joined! Sometimes I do it cos I got an invite from someone in my social network and I'm checking it out, connecting to only them. And yes you are right, we get back what we put in. If we don't trust, and add a picture and some personal detail, we won't get trust back. Funny no? PS if you go to gravatar.com (owned by Automattic, wordpress makers) you can have a gravatar (globally recognised avatar) across the 'net. Just don't upload a pink grumpy pixie :P Oh hell I’m just as guilty – I think I have about 300 social networks that I have joined and then not filled in. Just checking them out.

I'm sure you knew who I was onSydney), but as you rightly pointed out - amazing how many theoretically social media types had no image, no description and no update - so not really participating, just using. It's like the reciprocal following - give if you want to get! Hey Laurel,

Very likely I genuinely didn't know who a few ppl were on Digg and messaged saying 'ok, fess up, who are you??'. But if you used JenWilsonSydney, I think I would've guessed *puzzled*. I hope you don't think I was rude. :( Anyway, thanks for linking to me, and yeppers, that first time of checking out a new follower are critical aren't they? We really DO make decisions on people in the first few seconds, online OR offline! :) Heh Jennifer, I don’t remember that conversation.
