ClaimID.com and Naymz.com [disclaimer: I work for this company] allows for people to add links to all of their online personas (blogs, social networking profiles, photos, published articles, etc) and then get search engine placement for your name. We feel that there is absolutely a need for these types of product given how fragmented and inaccurate search engine results are for someone’s name. For individuals who are in the services industry (real estate agents, doctors, attorneys, etc) your name is essentially your brand and it’s becoming increasingly important to manage your online rep.<br /> Regards, Tom Drugan Hi Todd,

As for LinkedIn, it is a decent tool. I think the ability to present yourself in terms of your skills, experience and accomplishments rather than a chronological list of jobs would make it more relevant to the way people describe themselves these days.

I know more than a few people for whom Linked In is a major lead generator for new business, as well as a digital portfolio.

HOWEVER, their business model is counterintuitive. Also, their upgrade options seem incredibly arbitrary and value-less. This is one of those things that should be free. The sooner they do that, the sooner their traffic explodes. The later they do that, the sooner someone else does it better and freer.

I have also met up with a few old friends that I haven't communicated with in awhile. So, overall it has been a good experience.

Ya shoulda' contacted me for an interview, though, dude. The weather in SF and even Boston is better than in Memphis (just listed as one of the nation's "angriest" cities)! Anyway, feel free to invite me to your NEW LinkedIn network. Marc - that's a good idea, too (about the sig file). And I will be sure to check out Rapleaf soon. Michael – Congrats on your new job!

I say "the idea" because I have not completed setting up my profile and have not actually used the service. I think that LinkedIn, just like blogging, can be a remarkable tool for young professionals. Anything that can spread the positive word about you as an individual is definitely not a bad thing!
