      @scottalanmiller But the project page is sorta like a blog, detailing a project. I also have another blog, which I really need to spruce up as I don't write about anything often enough to be really proud of it. I also don't use Linkedin for much beyond keeping a ready list of contacts of professionals I know or have worked with, and for recommendations that I have received from some for past work. I only started using those because you can't get people to write actual letters anymore.

        Exactly. Like a blog you would never send a hiring manager there. Maybe you mention it as filler, maybe. But rarely. But never use it instead if good resume content. Assume it will never be seen.

          I'm not alone. If you look at the job listings for VisualDNA (http://www.visualdna.com/careers/vacancy/?p_id=829), a hip London startup, you'll see that they actually request that applicants give details of where they can read more about you (forums, blogs etc etc).

          Nope!

          Once again, my internet life and my real life are separate, and never shall the twain meet.

          Besides, do they really want to read my AdultFriendFinder posts?

            I guess that would depend on the job you were apply for no? 😛

              When I was at AT&T I got a call from a guy. Was helping him out and needed to email him something, so he gave me a email @vivid.com. I had to ask him if that was Vivid Video. Indeed it was!

              He sent me a login to the FTP site. Let's just say I was set for certain videos for years.

                If I were to point someone toward my SW profile, reading some of my posts could come off as bad for my company - or bad mouthing them at the very least... like PSX I don't really like that idea.. but understand what Scott is saying.

                  The couple of times I have ever been asked I only say that I contribute and have been a part of some product testing panels and online presentations. I'm sure some of my posts would come off bad but there's a lot more good than bad IMHO.

                    I'm obviously very public. I expect people to Google me. I make a point of matching my name everywhere.

                      Given your writing style, that could be rather entertaining.

                                    Sorry for the delay, Scott, but I finally shared my resume with you. If you could look at it, when you get a chance, I'd appreciate it.

                                        I got it. Might not get to look at it until the weekend. We will see.
