		<description>Yes Tom - I admit yesterday I did google myself. Surprisingly up until then I hadn&#039;t done it. Just as surprising were the minutes of meetings in working groups I participated in that were online. A lot of things I didn&#039;t submit are on the internet. Including a video of a rant I went on at a conference. So glad I chose to wear a suit that last day. Note to self: &quot;Big Brother&quot; is always watching!

While I found the article from Online Spin very pretentious in writing style, I had to read it a couple times to figure out what they were trying to say; I really have a very simple little brain, two key thoughts emerge.

1. Our career is going to be mapped out for us online. The old fashioned job interview and resume are becoming much less important.

2. We now live in a world where it is just as important to teach our children appropriate internet behaviour as it is to teach them table manners!

I too found Seth&#039;s blog on this amusing and couldn&#039;t help but throw up a blog of my own on it. In my blog I mused that while not having really thought about my &quot;brand&quot; I do see my internet presence as an opportunity to make a first impression with someone new everyday.

Love the Agitator.

Thank you.
