..on maintaining your online brand
One thing that was discussed after the talk (see previous blog post), was how students are attempting to maintain a professional presence online. One of their suggestions was to ask your friends to untag you from Facebook photos that wouldn’t be considered “professional.” This suggestion, to me, is flawed. It’s ultimately impossible to control someone tagging you in a...

Test Driving Facebook's Like Button on Tumblr
I’ve decided to implement Facebook’s new Like Button feature on this blog as a test. A test for what exactly, I’m not sure, yet. Will it develop a stronger or weaker network? Will it funnel more traffic to this blog? Will I acquire more followers? Does it make Tumblr’s own Like feature less important? I have no idea. If you’d like to do it for yourself, the...

The Vandal's Office
Above is the print I received from @theDoug in the mail. Awesome, isn’t it? How did I get my hands on this bad boy? Well, I entered his I Make Photos Monthly contest and won! I’d encourage you all to follow his blog here and enter his upcoming photo contest. Here’s the context he provided me with for the photo: Over the course of the last month someone tagging under the name...

@dbbradle on Flavors.me →
I just added myself to Flavors.me. It’s a great space to host all (well, most of) your personal content from around the internet. Flavors.me allows you to have a free account, but that upgraded version that allows you have to a custom domain, statistics, and a contact form is well worth it IMO. I’d direct whomever wanted to know about my online identity to my Flavors.me space, first.

Be Interesting By Being Interested
We had Doug Brown, CEO of Copeland Communications, come to Royal Roads to conduct a networking workshop. Here are a few mental notes I took during his talk: 1. Come to a networking event with a strategy. It could be that you want to handout all of the business cards you came with or make a point of speaking with at least 10 people in the room. Whatever it is, follow through, but don’t let...
