Although, I see things differently in regards to the distinction and overlap of personal vs. professional brand. LinkedIn isn't really the most social network and Facebook is rapidly becoming the network of choice for professional "personal" branding. Thanks Joe, it’s a nice visualization.

" Truth be told, any search engine, whether social or traditional, is the resume" This is the new world we live in whether we like it or not so why not maintain a more professional "you" online. You also mentioned being proactive, and already having preliminary online brands we do not even know about. Thats why it is so important to be proactive and making sure what the web says about us is accurate. In recent experience I have found personavita.com a great place to brand myself and maintain who I am online in every facet of my life. ITs better than maintaining 12 sites all depicting something a little different.

The old "publish or perish" adage now applies to the world wide web? Let's just hope we remember that quality is more important than quantity regarding personal branding. Because in our world, consistency is key, and "bad publicity is still publicity" doesn't apply here. <br/>http://blog.jungle8.com/2007/08/10/brand-yourself-doll/ Interesting.

People are using the internet as if it’s a telephone, when actually, what they’re doing is broadcasting to anyone that cares to stop by their blog or the comments they leave on other people’s blogs or on microblogging services.

At this point, even video and audio clips are being posted to the net which people THINK aren’t being read or watched, but as you state i the post, the first thing a company (or potential girlfriend) is going to do is GOOGLE YOU.

Interestingly enough, depending on your chosen field of expertise, having ZERO presence on Google can be as damning as having a negative presence, because at this point, it’s similar to “not being published”.

Mostly, because I’ve spent the better part of 10 years NOT having one that was associated with me by name or image in any way.

As of January of this year, I came out from behind the curtain. But I have been very cautious since then regarding the shaping of my online footprint.

I would disagree that GenY has been raised on this… they have been raised to be constantly forming their footprint – but conscious of what it’s impact could be in the long run? Not so much.
Most of them believe that down the road “if everyone has drunken pictures in their myspace past it will be no big deal” – trust me, I spent much time trying to convince many CIS students otherwise. Unfortunately, what they will have to learn the hard way is that they will suffer in comparison to their peers who have been very cautious about their internet footprint over the long haul.

It is the generation after that which will hopefully learn from the mistakes of their predecessors.

But then again, youth seldom believes that they will have to carry their sins with them into adulthood… before 10 years ago, it was true, to a point. Now? Not so much.
