First of all I’ve got to say that I love the Sphinn Live button. It’s interesting to see who’s currently on the site and what they’re up to. I’ve been finding myself visiting profiles to check up on your blogs, learn more about you, and to get in touch.
There are quite a few people that don’t have very complete profiles. I can understand privacy concerns but I’d like to encourage everyone to complete a bit more business information about themselves.
Primary reason why is I don’t offer SEO services, but I love talking it. I’m in this for my own personal interests and I live the stuff with a passion. Having the knowledge and interests that I do, I often become the "go to" guy when the topic of SEO/SEM comes up in my business communities.
Sphinn has provided a great platform for me to locate the right people for the right contacts, but with some I’ve had a hard time discovering what it is you do. Don’t let the idea that everyone in SEO knows who you are, limit your potential for developing new business.
I think it would benefit the whole community if you would visit your profile page and update anything you feel may help us to get to know you better.

Good post, Michael. I’m with you 100%. Underused profiles = missed opportunity.
The two of you make good examples. Thanks to your profile Matt I know you are a go to person for questions related to local search and yellow page directories. Thanks to Jill’s profile, I noticed a blog post she did this weekend, which I referenced and linked to in a related post.
Adding a few things to my profile, right now!
@SEOdisco: perfect timing, and you’re in the OC, that means were almost neighbors.
That is a great feature. And good point on the profiles. Like, Jill, I also dropped the link on my toolbar. is this new? If not, it really underscores the notion of pointing out the obvious to your customers even if you have a big ole’ link there. We all get blind to interfaces.
