What is a profile?
I'm sort of new to chat and have only used iChat (and irc in the days of old). Could someone describe to me what the profile is?
What is a profile?
A profile is a little description of the user--though a lot of times this just becomes a number of "shout out"s to "peeps." You can view a user's profile by selecting them in your buddy list and choosing "Get Info" from the Buddies menu. Note that your own (if you have yourself in your buddy list) is always blank, and iChat doesn't give you a way to change this--this is what we're talking about here.
What is a profile?
A profile a little something you write up about yourself to tell other chatters about you. If you right click on someone in iChat (or left "single" click while holding down the control button) a menu will appear and you can go to get info. By default it displays Address book information but you can change this in the drop down menu to display a users profile. The point here is that iChat users don't have the ability to post these profiles to their accounts (though we can read others' profiles), while AIM users do. |
