A discussion of personal branding and its connections to education, arguing that being able to demonstrate your talents and passions is a 21st century skill
-
Speaking from both his head and heart, Dan makes he compelling case that it is no longer is it enough to show that you are great, you have to show why you are a great match for a culture and brand of the company you want to work for. You have to be able to sell yourself, your talents, your passions, your uniqueness. (Aren't these Key 21st Century Skills?)

Seven Habits of Highly Connected People ~ Stephen's Web ~ by Stephen Downes
A riff on Stephen Covey for living, working, and communicating in a highly connected world. Not just the intuitive common-sense advice you see other places--who else would advise you to quit wasting time playing phone tag offline when you could spend that time making real connections online?
-

Study: Googling Oneself Is More Popular -- chicagotribune.com
Interesting stats on looking up yourself, friends, and others through search engines. Most people say they aren't concerned about the information available about them online and that it is accurate. The low number of people reporting negative experiences from online information was a surprise to me--the fears about transparency don't seem to be backed up with data.
-
Few Internet users say they Google themselves regularly -- about three-quarters of self-searchers say they have done so only once or twice. And most who have done so consider what they find accurate. Only 4 percent of Internet users said embarrassing or inaccurate information online resulted in a bad experience.

What can you know about a profcessional who doesn't blog his or her work?
