New Section at the Official SETI site - User Profiles!

Not to be confused with our own team "Personal Profiles" (which 68 of our Members have submitted, have you submitted yours?), it seems the Official site has similar ideas to us!  Here is what they say about it:

"User profiles provide a way for individuals to share backgrounds and opinions with the SETI@home community. Explore the diversity of your fellow searchers, and contribute your own views for others to enjoy."

It is a fun thing, and I am about to complete mine!  You can tell people who have done their profile by a little symbol.  To create your profile, and to view the thousands of profiles already created by people around the world click follow this link.
http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/user_profile/profile_menu.html

PS If you do create a profile mentioning our team and our web site would be awesome and we would love you for it.  Our web site is http://seti.vr9.com (as if you didn't know *Laugh*)


Our Hall of FAME just got one member Bigger!
Welcome Dave Earnest to our team, and the Hall of FAME!
