I quite enjoyed this article written by Canary Beck:
What does your Second Life profile say about you?
Here are a few snippets:
My profile (including all my tabs) is comprehensive, professional, up to date, and a good place for me to share my interests and the projects I get up to. If Ihad to classify it, itd be a bit more like a CV (Curriculum Vitae, or rsum ), than say, a casual social media profile. I dont expect everyone to write their profile the wayI write mine, but I do wonder what peopleare thinking when they write their profiles.
....
Like it or not, many people will judge you by your profile well before theyrecognizethe real you.In a way, I can see value in reading profiles with shoddy, offensive, negative or threatening information its much easier for me to dismiss you as someone I may not want to get to know better, saving both of us time and energy better spent elsewhere.In fact, Ill often invest more time and energy with a newbie with a sparse or empty profile than with the type Ive described above. At the very least, theyre not repelling me away.
Of course after reading it, I immediately reviewed my own profile to see how up to date it was and what it was "saying" about me.
Like Canary, I also tend to initially judge people by their profiles. I never could understand those profiles that told me to "take a hike" right off the bat. Maybe it's a generational thing 
So how about you? What do you think your profile says about you?
What do you like seeing in other profiles & how do you interpret them?
Are thereprofiles that you really admire? What do you like about them?
How do you distinguish between your RP & RL personas or do you?
So many questions, so little time
