The member profile displays information about the member, provides an individual file storage/sharing area, serves as their personal blog home page, lists personal connections ("buddies"), lists all of their forum posts, provides the ability to share the profile w/non-members, and more.
- Our Nearby Members feature geo-tags each member profile, when permitted by the members, and displays a map of nearby members.
