Ever wanted to create a SharePoint Web Part listing some specific set of User Profiles, with avatar pictures or photos, linking to user profiles or including profile properties of your choice?

Out of the box, SharePoint simply does not offer this capability. Whether you want to set up a Team Members Web Part, a Department Colleagues Web Part, an Upcoming Birthdays Web Part, a New Employees Web Part or some other kind of User Profiles List View Web Part, up to now your choices were limited to custom coding or possibly (given infinite time, patience and resources) manually populating some customized SharePoint Content Editor Web Part with the appropriate User Profile links, pictures and properties.
