More MySpace Profile

I found a tool today that might serve you... (and if not that's perfectly okay too! ;-))

Camtix - This is one of the tools that allows you to convert all videos into a format that you can put on your MySpace profile. This is especially valuable if you have a flash movie created for your specific product or service. It's a free download so help yourself!

There is something else I want to address.

As I was spending time over at MySpace today visiting pages of friends (and potential friends) I ran into a couple of profile pages that were so crisp, so clean, easily readable and interesting that it dawned on me that so many profiles are NOT THAT!

It was wonderful to be able to drop a message to these people and express my appreciation for their profile and it prompts me to remind you of a few things when creating or updating your profile if you want your profile to stand out:

• Don't overdo with videos and steer clear of animated backgrounds because they tend to make your site slow to load and too busy once they do load.

• I AM a proponent of writing your 'story' on your profile however, you don't want it to go on and on and on or people will find they don't have the time to check out your whole profile. If there is a lot of anecdotal material you'd like to share why not highlight it on your profile then provide a link to a blog page where you expound on it a bit? It will bring attention to your blog and still allow you to share more of your story and move into deeper relationship with people.

• Do remember to make sure the arrangements of information represents a logical succession of thought. In other words, don't assume everyone knows the basics of what you share... start at the beginning and don't jump all over the place.

• By all means post photos... and please make them as current as possible. The most interesting photo montages are the ones that show you and those you spend time with, doing the things you love to do. Sure, you might want to include one where you're all dressed up and standing posed and I'm telling you... the more you're willing to share the real, every day YOU, the more interesting you are! ;-)

• Watch the color scheme you select. Some color combinations that work well in one place don't always work well in another. It might work on shoes but NOT on your profile page. You may really like bright neon colors but on a computer screen eye fatigue sets in quickly with those shades. Not a great way to make friends! And remember... people have to be able to READ the words so avoid those extremely dark backgrounds if you'd like people to stay on your site for more than a couple of seconds.

Here's my suggestion... go browse profiles and get a 'feel' for the energy just based on the visuals... without reading any words. It's a fun way to learn more about your preferences and you'll probably make a new friend in the process!

Have FUN!
