I did Google myself. My comments to previous blogs was what I found. So, if a future employer wants to Google me, everything I have been involved in online will show up. We must all be on our best professional behavior. Although this post is a bit dated, professional conduct should be observed at all times during this blogging process. I did Google myself.

Very nice to speak with you the other night!When it comes to the issue of 'professionalism' in the blogoshpere - I think there is a line that as fellow bloggers we should try not to cross.The beauty of the blogosphere is that we can explore different points of view and share our own. Sometimes that means that we all get along and pat each other's back; loving the blogosphere - but other times that might mean that we get called on the carpet. This feedback loop is actually what I grow from the most. I value when a commenter or fellow blogger calls it as they see it, forcing me to consider a different POV.As for professional brand management – in my view you can’t damage your ‘brand’ as long as you have a valid point and aren’t just being condescending or rude because you have the floor and you can be. If the blogosphere only gets used as a ‘business’ social networking tool – then we are forced to always edit any REAL content out so that we don’t run the risk of possibly hurting a connection (you never know in this 2D space when something will get taken the wrong way or when someone won’t appreciate your humor). Does this mean that we need to edit our content in such a way as to ensure that everyone GETS it and it is ‘business-like’? I hope not – the blogosphere was supposed to cut through the PR and marketing BS. I am afraid that we will lose some of the blogosphere’s flavor if we force those practices.At the end of the day - I think that we show the MOST respect for people when we are HONEST. If you can make your points, like my friend Amitai can, WITH FLARE – then this POV exchange becomes an even more rich experience.Good conversation! Thanks ;-) Hi Dave.

It really makes me scratch my head..Remember the great debacle - the ethics debate about a year or so ago. So many would put up an opinion about ethics, and generally not in their favor. Remember posting something about that.. why would a company want to work with someone who says - ethics are personal.. even in business.. Gee, that would scare me..After reading this post I wonder how many people will be going out trying to scrub anything with their name?Great One! Great Post Dave and So true..
