I was just going on my blog to put up something for another CIS presentation and I noticed there was nothing on the Chris Penn presentation. I was sure I had posted something about it few days after I went to it but I guess I must have closed the window before posting it. So here I go again.
Chris Penn's presentation about branding yourself on the web was very thought provoking, and made me appreciate the potential that social networking sites have as an aid. It seems that if a potential employer were to look up people on the web before an interview it could either make or break the potential employee. While at the presentation I decided to google myself. Not much came up for my name but there were a lot of hits for "flyingdutchman265" which is my name for most webpages. My blipper account, my updown profile, my wikipedia profile, my youtube account, and even an obscure lacrosse website that I bought something from one time. A potential employer could gather a lot of information from a simple web search.
