Gopi Passiflora Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 Today I just started filling out the picks in my profile with my parcels I'd like to show off, and I'm just curious if people check out your picks if they view your profile, and if you visit other users' picks. I haven't browsed the "picks" section of profiles I've viewed but maybe I should start doing that to find some cool places! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lindal Kidd Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 I do, I do! I am a confirmed Profile Snoop. I also swipe info from the outfits people are wearing (if I like them), look up the creator and their store, and check them out. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaharazad Humphreys Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 Yes. I always look in the picks to find out more about people. I know they look at my picks too because people I just met will ask questions about things I posted there. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akane Nacht Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 Mostly to find the landmark to a creator's shop. Usually safer than the links on MP which often leave me falling through space, stuck in a wall or smack in someone's private house. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephanie Misfit Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 Yes, I read the picks on other people's profile so that I can judge them by them (kidding, maybe). And people do read mine sometimes. They'll tell me they visited my house, which is in my picks. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panterapolnocy Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 (edited) If I decide to read someone's profile, then I check everything - including Picks - in order to have a full publicly available image of the person. It also shows some respect to the imagination of the resident, as quite often people put interesting and creative content in the Picks.

Tary Allen Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 Always, I'm a profile reader. I've found some nice places by reading profiles. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
So Whimsy Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 The only time I ever check out picks is if I need to contact a merchant and their profile directs me to their picks to see their preferred contact method. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceka Cianci Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 I spend the first part of my time looking at everyone's profile in the sim. Plus the ones coming in.. I always have that people button opened up.. If someone IM's me, I check out their profile before I ever answer.. Sometimes ya juss hafta go Botlike.. hehehe 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna Nova Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 I am a confirmed 'advert hater'. I find everything in SL by following up on both picks and checking what cute people are wearing. It's a great pity you can't snoop on the tattoos and other BoM stuff like you can attachments. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cunomar Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 I worked out in my first few months of sl that profile "picks" was the only way to find new places to visit ....... even if 9 out of every 10 no longer exist . 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayashe Ninetails Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 I absolutely do read Picks whenever I check someone's profile. I've also got mine filled out. I've never used it as intended, though - as a place to add landmarks to interesting places. I usually fill them with goofy tributes to my friends, fun photography, links to funny YouTube songs, and other silly things. People do seem to read them on occasion and have launched entire conversations with me based on something I've written in there. That reminds me, I need to update them. Been a minute. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So...it's an advert. Don't hate me 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So...it's an advert. Someone started a thread asking what people miss in RL and SL, and your post reminded me of something from way back. There was a time when Picks helped to push places up the search rankings, and stores actually paid people to put a Pick to the store in their profiles. I wonder if anyone misses that lol. Anyway, there's a PM coming your way right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Love Zhaoying Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 So, if someone has no "picks" in their profile. Is that ok? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Deakins Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 I sometimes look at profiles but usually only the Second Life and First Life tabs - First Life because I'm nosey. Actually, that's the reason I look at all - because I'm nosey 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't browsed the "picks" section of profiles I've viewed but maybe I should start doing that to find some cool places! I thought all profile perverts read the picks. Unless I'm just looking for your inworld store, there are 3 tabs I look at, Picks, Interests and 1st Life. It's rather telling when there aren't any interests checked. I look at 1st Life tab mainly to see if they were brave enough to share a dust speck of it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ren Toxx Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 Some do, to get to know me or for entertainment, but not to find places—I don’t use my picks that way, and usually they have dud locations. Nor do I read others’ for it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowan Amore Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 I ALWAYS read profile picks like @Ceka Ciancibefore answering an IM. If it's filled with nothing but stores or clubs or blank, I'm already bored or suspicious unless the person is fairly new. I always try to keep my picks location up to date. The pick itself has nothing to do with it but in case someone uses it to check out a place, I want them to find something interesting there. Reminds me...I need to check and see if they need updated. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jules Catlyn Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 (edited) I love checking people's profiles. All tabs of them. it is part of the fun of going out for me. Looking at avatars and checking profiles. Judging by the remarks and questions i get while out, many cannot be bothered to do so.
