Some of the members with dating profiles have seductive looking pictures than the personal profiles. For example, one of the members had a sexy profile picture. She had long hair that was all over the place, light makeup, and thin. She posed like a model for the camera. The picture does a good job luring in visitors. She had over 3,000 hits on her page. The members with personal profiles have more subtle pictures. You can tell that they are on there just browsing on the site. The ages vary from 18 to 50. President Obama has a profile on the site. His real profile is hard to tell because some members use his picture for their main photo.
Black Planet is a worthy site. This site is the BET of social interactions. When I first heard about the site in 1999, I thought it was just a dating site. But the site offers more than a dating service. BP offers everything for everyone. Every profile picture that is promoted has an age and location on it. This gives members a brief look at the person's info without clicking their page. This site has been around for a long time. Facebook and Twitter might be the heavy hitters in the war, but BP continues to stand strong. So if this wasn't worthy, I think the site would had collapsed ages ago.
So, what about the writing? Is writing privileged? Is it even important that people write? Would pictures and data be sufficient? Etc.
