If you're serious about Social Media, if you're using SM to establish or build your online presence, then doesn't it make sense that you would have a great photograph of yourself as your primary visual identifier? People increasingly are trying to manage huge lists of online contacts, adding hundreds or thousands of people as Friends on Facebook, etc. When busy people are scanning through Twitter feeds or Facebook status updates, the first thing they see is your picture, not your name. Don't settle for a fuzzy webcam photo, a cut-out from a poorly lit snapshot, or the dreaded and cliché photo-you-took-of-yourself-in-the mirror!
