Hmm, interesting...I would have thought that a site's content and look-n-feel would make the necessary lasting impressions...I wonder if this may be another male/female divide??
Maybe there's even an age-group gap, too? Perhaps in this day of facebook and myspace it's expected that a photo should accompany an About Me page?
Then there's the problem of striking the appropriate "tone"...between artsy-fartsy and uninspired-headshot...does a photo communicate anything, or does it allow the readership to project its own hopes and desires??
Surely there's a study on this somewhere.... |
