Hi Brenda,

Regarding your Q... I as a boss do check the sites of would be and current employees. Anyway, I don't expect to find anything unlikely because of privacy settings.

I normally check their writing skills and present network.

I really appreciate this article and agree with you that a little of this goes a very long way. Social networking sites are about relationships with people and I get very tired of the self promoting entries.
What do you think about bosses going to social networking sites as part of their checking for employment?

You have a very good point here with Focus and Logo. It puts me off a blog when the logo changes all the time.

Yes, I've seen this one before and it's very impressive. Reputation matters and should be protected accordingly. But if mistakes were done, it's not that hard to say I'M SORRY. We, who sometimes live online, cannot please everybody. Most of the time, it will be a 50/50 kind of thing.

Ha ha ha, yeah. Our brands should deliver what it promised

I really like this thing that you said

"Marketing is not a battle of products, it's a battle of perceptions.."

I totally agree! And to super-charge your credential, the external presentation should at least match the credentials. We are all marketers don't you agree?

@ Rob--

"This what makes personal brands fragile. It will take you time to build it, sometimes years and 30 minutes to ruin it."

All the more with our careless actions in the web.

@ Aileen--

They hope to cash in with the extra traffic the sex videos will create. Unmindful of the hurt not only on the object of the sex vids, but to the family itself. If we are not careful, the freedom we are enjoying might soon be restricted/regulated if users of web 2.0 will not self regulate themselves

I was outraged the other day about how disrespectful some of the bloggers were about the scandal. And was much more upset how of them carelessly justified their actions. They said everyone's doing it anyway so it's not bad. It's so sad how values have been totally screwed by this bandwagon mentality. =(

Hi Sonny! It's an interesting fact that freedom sometimes has it consequences and we can see that here with this issue. Sad to say, there will be people riding the issue and use it on their agenda, good or bad. And some will ride it to contribute to noise.

I heard some say that "Si Paris Hilton nga meron ding ganyan ehh..".

This what makes personal brands fragile. It will take you time to build it, sometimes years and 30 minutes to ruin it. And though Kat did a Paris Hilton, I agree with you in saying that we should not bury them alive. They're people too. Walking headless is an unbearable feeling.

But knowing how our society handles issues, this too will be forgotten soon. We just need another one. Again, an awesome post Sonny!

Hi Sonny! Actually it's a book and I think there's a movie about Fight Club. Brad Pitt was the star on that film. But I like the book better, Last time I was there, I got it from Powerbooks.

Hi Rob,

What's the url?

Re: Creating Your Brand

Rob Angeles — Tue, 12 May 2009 23:35:11 -0000

Great post Sonny! And to add one more on your tips, I suggest to give Fight Club a glimpse. It may be weird at this point but there are a lot of things about fight club that will make building of a brand interesting.

Have a blessed day Sonny!

Great post Sonny! And yes, the internet does not forget. I just remember that guy who enjoyed killing a cat in UP and he even posted a story in his Facebook page. Just imagine how many people were disgusted in his actions.

@ Dan-- young people need to be educated how to use these tools positively.

@Skippratt-- unfortunately, not all have adopted

Social media has become a focal point for businesses and recruitment so your rep is of high importance whilst pushing your brand forward!
