This document compares how professional and personal profiles differ in terms of name, images, bio, connections, and content. For professional profiles like LinkedIn, the name uses your full name and the image is a headshot portraying you professionally. The bio explains who you are through keywords and connections are only people you've met. Content shares work-related interests through a blog. Personal profiles like Instagram can use nicknames and casual photos, bios may be empty, connections include anyone, and content freely shares pictures and opinions while considering privacy settings.
