“These findings show how important it is to present yourself strategically on Facebook,” says study co-author Seoyeon Hong. “If you want to be perceived positively by people who view your profile page, including friends and potential employers, it is important to include profile pictures with positive social cues.” (Credit: pollyalida/Flickr)

U. MISSOURI (US) —People with Facebook profile photos that include social cues are perceived to be more physically and socially attractive than people with simple headshots for profile pics
Photos with social cues include additional information about who a person is and what they do. For example, a photo with a social cue of an athlete would be a picture of that person playing sports. Likewise, a social cue for a musician may be a photo of that person playing an instrument.

Tumblr590By Beth Marchant | Published Jun 15, 2012  If you’ve got a film to promote, have you considered Tumblr? Beyond Facebook, Twitter, and clearly YouTube and Vimeo—where filmmakers can show their work as it was intended to be seen—Tumblr may be the next bountiful frontier. That’s what Lauren Donia, a former project coordinator at the Center for Social Media in D.C., suggests on the center’s blog. (I found it reposted on the TriBeCa Film Festival’s Future of Film blog, which also has its own Tumblr here.) -continues on link-
