Agree. I think the tricky part is that you can one intention for a bio at a certain points, but inevitably, some old or unintended version may have unexpected impact in the future. That's a key point I missed in my original essay.

The stream is the bio. I have my personal-written bio, and it's one of the
most trafficked pages on my blog. But I have no doubt that people conclude
their account of me by piecing together search-engine results pages, and
scrolling through pages of Facebook, and scanning tweets.

Here's mine:

I'm the Fearless Competitor and I turn good companies into fearless competitors. My business is helping businesses to find and acquire new customers and I'm author of the highly acclaimed white paper, How to Find New Customers. Lastly, I'm featured in Jill Konrath's new book, Get Back to Work Faster.

Interesting thoughts - I think your bio can be anything you'd like it to be. It can be a bullet point list or an essay, it can be long or short. You can incorporate social proofing elements if you want. It can be as simple as an "about" page on a blog or more of a formal layout. There's no wrong answer here - ultimately I think the bio is just the first step - something more interesting is someone's stream - what they find interesting, what they write, what they share, etc.
