Save those for your tagged photos :)

Your Facebook profile photo doesn’t have to be uber-professional, but it should be well-cropped and likable. LinkedIn profile shots can have a more professional feel, depending on your industry. Make sure your Twitter profile picture is cropped well and shows your face clearly (unless your Twitter page is based around a product or company). Remember, you’re branding yourself. [...]
