    I got a few opinions from people and decided that it was best for me to change my LinkedIn picture from what my TechExams avatar is to a picture of me next to my network rack.

    I'm not going to say this is the greatest thing ever, I'm not even sure there's more to this than getting a warm, fuzzy feeling, but have you checked out http://photofeeler.com?

    Basically, they have a user community that grades your picture on Likability, Competency and Influence. It's one of those deals where you have to vote on X number of pictures to earn points and then you can request your picture be scored. I killed an hour one night and it was very interesting to see how I reacted differently to various pictures of the same people and how they reacted to mine.

    It's both hilarious and scary that we've come to this point. And maybe there's something wrong with me because none of the example pictures on the front page tell me anything about how competent or influential someone is.

    That's a pretty neat site. If anything, it enables you to get the best picture you have out there.

    I added a few new faces.

    I too need to get a pic. I just dont know where to begin! At this point, any pic is better than no pic.

    Exactly! When you consider the snap judgments that are made in the initial fraction of a second when someone first sees you I think it's only prudent to have your picture on a site such as LinkedIn be as positive as possible. However, as fredrikjj said, it is somewhat funny AND scary that we have come to this point....

    Not a bad idea but I think a very big part of TE members are from the US so the other groups will be rather empty.
    Yes, I am a criminal. My crime is that of curiosity. My crime is that of judging people by what they say and think, not what they look like. My crime is that of outsmarting you, something that you will never forgive me for.
