User's Informational Page - What information should we collect?

Submitted by Paul on Mon, 07/28/2008 - 00:23.

One of my first orders of business is to update what user information is collected and displayed in the user profile. Of course all information will be optional. Some categories I came up with are

  • Full Name
  • Personal Website
  • Instant Messaging Accounts
  • E-mail (for public display)
  • Address (at least City, State, Country)
  • Certifications Obtained
  • Certifications currently studying
  • Company

    • What about another section for "Resume/Work experience", ala LinkedIn? Opininons. ideas?
