It was fun being that, wasn't it? My bet is they haven't a clue and are "it's none of your business, you damn adults! Stop trying to control me!" frenzied. Good that you're having that talk with them now. Maybe a few of them will listen and not make stupid mistakes along the way.<br><br>Or they could just be like the rest of us (the fact we didn't have Facebook or online photosharing not withstanding of course).

The national news headline is a great reminder. My mother always told me, "Never do anything you would be ashamed to admit to your grandmother." It worked ... most of the time. Good thoughts!

But would you communicate with them in the same fashion? I don't think I would. You want another face/name/person on the other side of the conversation. That's why I think personal branding, in the context of the social web, is more impactful than the corporate kind. <br><br>Thanks for the response. Agreed, Dan.

Thought I'd chime in .. Years ago before the social web, a very smart person in my life told me before I take action .. ask myself ... how will I feel if what I said/did were the morning headline in the national news. Seems in the social media world, the same advice has even greater meaning since what we say online IS published AND preserved on a server somewhere, potentially, forever, and available to anyone, anytime, anywhere through a simple search. Seems to me whether it should be that a potential employer is influenced by what we've posted online is at the very heart of personal branding choices because, like it or not, they most likely will be -- making this personal branding conversation really important.

There are many similarities between corporate and personal branding practices. You would Google a company to find out about it, just like a person. You would view their facebook page, just like you would view a personal profile page. Jason, this is a great introduction into the fine world of personal branding.
