       The 'finger' command is used to get information about a
       specific user on a local or remote system. Things like 
       full name, telephone number and email address.
       
       It also normally displays the contents of the '.projects'
       and '.plan' files in the users directory. The user can put
       anything he wants into this files. Sometimes it contains
       useful information about the user's activity, serves as a
       kind of microblogging or all manner of humor.

       <== Your own finger ==>
       
       I would like to see more people using their finger service.
       Most of the pubnixes and tildes have some kind of finger
       service set up on their system. In fact it's more and more
       common in the smolnet community to have a finger address.
       
       For example I use my personal finger address as a kind of
       /now page where I put in what I'm currently doing in the
       mid term. But you can put anything you want in it.
