Direct Link To This Post Topic: Profilepicture [older]
    Posted: 24 Oct 2008 at 10:17am

What do you guys think?? I think that we should be able to have a profilepicture cause I'd like to know who I'm talking to...eventhough a picture doesnt say much about your personality, but still, it says something....

YES!!! %3c3clap
at least (!) one picture! it's also important in case you and your guest/host don't meet at your/her/his home!
and how about a second possible picture for the place to spend the night: room/bed/couch/mattress?
i gained lots of positive experiences with that in couchsurfing:

Hey Sue! Yes, a second picture of the place to spend the night would be also great. Both pictures are important I think. I said that once to a admin but he/she said that they don't want this place to be myspace or what ever but I think the profiles need to get more personal.. fx. I want to search for a couch but when ever I start to seach I'm getting unsure because I hear my self thinking ohh Derya you don't even know these ppl....but when I'm at couchsurfing I don't have that problem because it's pretty obvious who's offering a couch! Ohh and by the way I really like your chouchsurfing profile...very interessting!!
And I liked most the fact that you, eventhough you don't have a job, you donate all the money that you get for the food...very exemplary!%3clap
 
we need more ppl thinking like that.

Hi together,

yes - right, right, right, not right, right %3clap

belodged.com exists as the follower of globiwalk - and old student project from 1999. Now we have the time and fun to bring this again to success ;o). So we do not try to be a copy - we just fullfill an old dream - and this in main parts completly in an other way.

mickymaus - Great profile link. But THAT is one of the main differences. We wanna take care of your and yours friends privacy. This link is public. Many users using the same username in other communities too - and there together with the real name too. So - and together with this link your privacy profile comes more and more public. Guess what such a profile is worth for an advertising agency %3chocked, your insurance, for a criminal ... . Many of members will write down when they will be on holiday - so - they know when your home is empty%3ctern%20%3cmile

This is a very huge disucssion - how much you will make public, how much you need to know from each other (public or just for people who are in the adress book etc.). We are still working on it. Yes - you will get on belodged.com more possibilities too - but we do not wanna fullfill the dream about a crystalline profile.

Mickymaus, Derya - thank you very much for your input. %3clap %3clap %3clap You can be for sure - we will solve this ;o). No discussions to death%3cO%3c - we will just implement it.
%3clap
We will keep you and all others upToDate. In the next days you will find a road map on the website. There will be visible which goals and functions we will implement next.

best regards and have fun!

i strongly go with the idea of letting the members have some photos posted and i would also suggest a proper verfication process as is done by couchsurfing.com.
