when you encounter a new soulcaster, how often do you hover your cursor over the new (to you) username to see that person's profile? always, sometimes, never, didn't know you could do that?
just curious.

Never did that. Never thought about being able to do so, but I am not surprised to read it is possible. I just never assumed it was awailable.I guess I should do it from now on. I only look at profiles on online dating sites.LOL. I don't think much about profiles. Your blogs tell me so much more about you. But you are right, it might be interesting to see you all on a profile level too.Z -

Always. It's a rather clever little window into who they are, imo (at least if they take advantage of it).

Usually only if I am reading their blog, and intend to answer. I pass alot of names by if I don't "click" with the title of their posts. What they write may not be "who they are," exactly--but it gives you an idea of their mindset. If they are angry, humorous, lonely, sad, off-the-wall wacky etc.....At least it does if they are being honest! -
Eilan said on Aug 25, 2007....
Always. I'll even check out the mouse-over descriptions for older SC'ers as well, because some people like to change them.

pretty much always. -

Maybe half. -
rightwingwizard said on Aug 25, 2007....
I do this always and like Eilan I often check those I've already read, for the same reason.There is a small glimps into the soul of a person sometimes by reading their own perception of self.I even check my own sometimes. When I do I think, "What a pretentious old bastard!"rww -

gingersoul said on Aug 25, 2007....
Its the first thing i do, actually.
If you choose a specific profile you want say something specific....even though i found that some are pure filli in descriptions...
Plus, some bloggers changes their profile...its interesting....

botoni said on Aug 25, 2007....
Usually I check and like others I sometimes glance at long time users just to see if there are changes. -
lioneljay said on Aug 25, 2007....
Rarely. I tend to base my views of people on their posts and their comments. -
travelr712 said on Aug 25, 2007....
i read them, but i don't usually associate them with the person. i tend to form my opinion of each member from their writing instead. although i just hovered over lioneljay's, and all i got to say is LOL -
cakebottom said on Aug 25, 2007....
I tend to take them with a grain of salt. I suppose I assume that other people change them according to their mood sometimes, too. -
Battycat said on Aug 25, 2007....
I usually look, it just gives a little about the person. -
Mamie said on Aug 25, 2007....
rarely, although I sometimes do, and I see a little more about them before I might subscribe...but I am usually going to their post because they have said something interesting or something that made me laugh... -
Alyss said on Aug 25, 2007....
I always look as it's an interesting window into how they see themself. -
TamareE said on Aug 25, 2007....
I rarely look, I haven't been on in a while then forgot my password so I had to make a new account. :( -
wakingharmony said on Aug 25, 2007....
I have no Idea how to look at a profile silver -

Always. -
MissMimi said on Aug 25, 2007....
I do most of the time. -
Ceinna said on Aug 25, 2007....
I'm pretty new and I've always done it. -
wakingharmony said on Aug 25, 2007....
oh ok always i thought there was something more ~ I know "It's A simple question" then why did you make it sound so complicated lol i thought i had to click on something like a lions den or something .....But you did say simple I' ll keep that in mind silver. Hugs* -
Zayda said on Aug 25, 2007....
Always. And like Eilan, I look at the profile of older members of Soulcast as well. You never know what new description you may find there. -
destinydiva said on Aug 25, 2007....
always :-) sometimes, the profile says more than a six month blog!! :-)

wakingharmony said on Aug 25, 2007....
I love all the creative things that people have on their profile!!!!! -
somethingunUSual said on Aug 25, 2007....
are you talking about the little blubs that pop up by our names? Otherwise I'm c0nfused... -
Zayda said on Aug 25, 2007....
Yes, he's talking about the little blurbs that pop up when you mouse over the names. -
RollingC said on Aug 25, 2007....
Not too often I'm afraid to admit. I must do that more often as I'm usually more concerned with reading the post and commenting on it (although sometimes I don't). -
lyssa said on Aug 26, 2007....
Hmmm.. sometimes. Usually I read profiles of those who subscribed to me and someone with an interesting handle. I admire those that come up with really nice handles! -
PassionTraveler said on Aug 26, 2007....
Always and often. But it would be nice if more people identified at least that they are male or female and basics that help readers better understand their perspective.

Rather annoying too, but can't stop myself from doing it for some reason.

evil_twin said on Aug 26, 2007....
I always hover over a user's name if I've never seen them before. And usually if they don't put in a description, it's a good indication that their blog is probably empty too. But if their description is funny or otherwise interesting, I'll usually check them out to see what they have to say. Occasionally I'll check out other people's descriptions too, because I like to see if they've changed them since I've been here.
You can't say too much in that little space, but I do think it can tell enough about a person to give me an idea of what they're about.

silverwhisper said on Aug 27, 2007....
yeah, i always look at 'em, myself. interesting diversity of responses, folks! there are too many comments to reply individually to everyone...
tamare: hey there, what was your old username?
ceinna, welcome to my blog, and thanks for visiting!
eilan, super z: you know, i never noticed that folks change their profiles but in light of the comment by battycat just checked out LJ's. :>
you know, i find that user profiles are a handy way of sniffing out who's an alt and who isn't.

I feel so completely empty. I've been so depressed lately that I can't seem to remember when I became this way. What happened to me? I can't be happy anymore. I can't bring myself to do any of the things I used to like. All I want to do is sit around and... read entire post
