- short bio: for use when the number of characters is severely limited (see description below)
- long bio: for when you have a little more space to maneuver
- hyperlink collection: all the links to your public web presence
- What are your interests?
- What are you likely to share about?
- What makes you different?

- Facebook Page (if public)
- Public Profiles: LinkedIn, About.me, Academia.edu, etc.
