You know, sometimes things exist and we don't always consider them until someone points them out to us. Role models is a concept that I suddenly think is already existing in our profiles in a variety of ways. I think this idea is embedded in the Business Card as you can point to your favorite members. (not sure if this is fully working the way we all wish but it seems that is the intent). Another idea would be to highlight such members in your wiki profile. It's a kind of "friends" idea. I like to think of my friends as a kind of role model for particular behaviors, including friendship. It's a very "personal" thing, but by having friends in your profile, it can give folks a good indication of who you read and who interests you and who is a topic expert in your opinion. Its a kind of Blog roll and you are very encouraged to help us create a better wiki profile to support it if the one we already have doesn't suit your needs.
So thanks for making me aware of how we could better use something we already have!
