Alright forum friends, let's get our bios filled out. It would be nice to see who else is in the Buzz Out Loud crowd. I finally filled mine out again as requested by ''The Other Kevin'' so now let's see the rest of you.

If you need a free place to host a link to your photo, go here because, you know... the CNET photo avatards (was a misspelling but I kept it) are just so cool. ''I think I'll be a REMOTE CONTROL. Hey, I wanna be a JOYSTICK. I'm an ENVELOPE!'' Well, if you'd rather not be THAT cool, put your own photo up:

If you need a place to choose a favorite quote that fits your personality, go here and find it. Somebody more famous than you has already said something more profound:

So, join in, folks.

Better Quote site.

Ryan, nice. I just checked it out and I like it better. It doesn't force you to sit through an advertisement when you click on a new category like the one I listed. I also prefer the layout. Thanks.

I like all the above, but the graphics on this one is cute.

Your picture literally made me LOL for at least 10 seconds.

Awesome Photo
Feb 10, 2006 8:16PM PST

Wow! That is one incredible picture of you, V. It has that Mona Lisa-like smile. You can't quite figure out what you are thinking, but it is evident that the thoughts are there. Stay beautiful and photogenic!

Mostly a bump
Feb 11, 2006 3:29AM PST

Mostly a bump to keep the topic fresh. I want to see more bios filled out! Happy The response has been great so far and it's nice to have just a tiny chunk of the person filled in a little behind the screen names we are used to seeing. Keep 'em coming.

I agree

I think this is awesome that its turning into its own community, growing all the time. I really like it when there is more about the person in the bio.

I spent a little more time adding to my own just now. It's tough to try and sum yourself up in a paragraph or two.

Mind your aspect ratio
Feb 11, 2006 3:54AM PST

Be sure to note that if you place any links to a photo of yourself, you will want to be sure the photo is a _perfect square_.

Otherwise it will stretch or squish your photo. You will want to either crop off the excess or just add it to a perfectly square black background.

Just a tip Wink

Would be cool...

If there was a page full of photos of the BOL listeners, I guess thats something to do on Frappr! since (I don't think) there is anyway CNET could do it, since there are probably millions of people registered on CNET.

Frappr
Feb 13, 2006 2:06PM PST

To be honest, I haven't been to Frappr since the day I signed up for the BOL group. I wish it were all kept here, somehow.

Still hoping to see more people fill out there bios. Keep 'em coming!!

Feb 16, 2006 12:54PM PST

We had a lot of people fill out their bios this week but I still click on a lot of profiles and find nothing. Would be nice to learn about more of you out there. Keem 'em coming.
