Are you a real man?

A Kizzle coming up with the goods time and time again. I look forward to nabbing the book off you mate…I must admit I do abide by a lot of the rules.

YouTube Friday

I’ve come to the conclusion that people do very little work on Fridays, because I’ve been highlighted to four video classics that I thought I would show you…here, here, here and here.

McClaren

I’m going to be brave here and say that I think Steve McClaren isn’t the man for English football. I don’t know why I think this.

Blogging is damaging to your wealth

Recent research has found that blogging etc can lead to you not getting considered for a job. This is obviously true if you happen to write about silly things like getting drunk, causing mischief or having irresponsible views. The great thing about recent web technologies is that they have opened up the barriers so that conversations can happen…but this obviously gives rise to people knowing that bit more about you.

My advice? You should be savvy about what you are doing before you do it. Facebook, MySpace etc all have privacy settings available so you can choose that your information isn’t open to the great wider world. Also if you have done silly things you tend not to preach about it in the real world, so why would you online?! To use the old saying ‘you should think before you talk’.

On another note, my blog and interest in the space actually got me my job, so such tools can have benefits.
