Twitter is cool and all, but you need more than that to build a \"web presence.\" Web presence merely means that your \"brand\" or company is wide and far. I see a few people that are doing the same exact thing I am doing, and they have a really good idea what \"web presence\" really means; personal platform.

I don't care what you read, I read a few websites saying that employers don't want their employees to be blogging, whether it be good things about the company or bad. And even if that person isn't doing anything surrounding the company with regards to blogging, they still don't want it. They don't even encourage it; they're creating rules on not blogging, ESPECIALLY during work. <br><br>That's not all, I've read newspapers saying the same thing, what's worse is that, what they say about blogging is kinda leave it, or embrace it. On top of that, they seem to imply that the person's brand is tightly connected to the company's brand. And they say that \"when a company employee spews negativity, the brand is a jerk.\" Its not exactly like that, but similar. <br><br>It is a very good concept if you want to take control of what people say about you.

In a world that is becoming more virtual, people are using the web to learn about colleagues, managers, prospective employees, clients, customers, etc. Rarely are we co-located with everyone we work with. People are using the web (and corporate intranets) to learn about and make decisions about their colleagues. It\u2019s reality today.<br><br>In Career Distinction: Stand Out by Building Your Brand, we devoted TWO chapters to the topic of online branding (this is the topic of our next book). When we researched this for the book, we learned that people make decisions about your Google results based on two factors: The volume of results and the relevance of those results. If someone doesn\u2019t know you personally, you ARE your Google results. SO deliberately managing your online ID is critical in the new world of work (of course, just like real-world branding, you need to base your online brand in authenticity \u2013 who you really are).<br><br>To help people understand how strong their online brand is, we developed the Online ID Calculator (It\u2019s free!) and just through word of mouth, we have had nearly 40,000 people use it. So we know that people care about how they show up on the World Wide Web. You can use the calculator here: <a href=\"http://www.onlineidcalculator\" rel=\"nofollow\">www.onlineidcalculator</a>.<br><br>Thanks for starting this conversation, Chris.<br><br>William Arruda<br><a href=\"http://www.reachcc.com\" rel=\"nofollow\">www.reachcc.com</a>", "is_last_child": false, "can_reply": true, "down_voted": false, "real_date": "2008-11-19_10:40:19", "killed": false, "user_key": "williamarruda", "has_been_anonymized": false, "edited": false, "author_is_moderator": false, "from_request_user": false, "votable": true, "date": "1 year ago", "approved": true, "num_replies": 0, "is_first_child": false, "email": "", "parent_post_id": null, "depth": 0, "points": 0, "author_is_creator": false, "is_realtime": false}, "8528505": {"up_voted": false, "ip": "", "has_replies": false, "message": "I work for Gannett and I can tell you that these guys do have web presences.

The only way to have the necessary flexibility in a web presence is to have it under your own control.</div>\

I\'m pretty heavy on the Web presence side, as it\'s important to my work (I\'m a corporate recruiter).  So, I blog a bit, use Twitter, Facebook, etc al.  My role dictates that presence (that and the fact that I\'m a chatterbox).<br><br>That said: not everyone has the time/ inclination to actively maintain a presence at that level.  If you sliced it up, I\'m betting that there are a high level of designers, developers, marketers etc with major Web presences, and an equally low percentage of accountants, actuaries, etc.  An actuarial analyst for Towers Perrin may have tons of face time with clients, but I\'m betting they\'re dificult to find blogging.<br><br>Where this will shift will be with the growth of the ZoomInfo\'s (full disclosure - that\'s where I earn my daily bread), LinkedIn\'s, etc.  More static than a well-maintained Web presence, but at the same time less of a time-suck.  You can claim your profile, add it as a link to your e-mail signature, and to a certain extent forget about it.<br><br>Plus, I\'m not sure anyone really wants to read the blogging actuary...</div>\

Then I ask them if they have ever googled someone they work with and the result is nearly the same.<br><br>Everyone in the company needs an online identity that is consistent with their real-world personal brand. In a world that is becoming more virtual, people are using the web to learn about colleagues, managers, prospective employees, clients, customers, etc. Rarely are we co-located with everyone we work with. People are using the web (and corporate intranets) to learn about and make decisions about their colleagues. It’s reality today.<br><br>In Career Distinction: Stand Out by Building Your Brand, we devoted TWO chapters to the topic of online branding (this is the topic of our next book). When we researched this for the book, we learned that people make decisions about your Google results based on two factors: The volume of results and the relevance of those results. If someone doesn’t know you personally, you ARE your Google results. SO deliberately managing your online ID is critical in the new world of work (of course, just like real-world branding, you need to base your online brand in authenticity – who you really are).<br><br>To help people understand how strong their online brand is, we developed the Online ID Calculator (It’s free!) and just through word of mouth, we have had nearly 40,000 people use it. So we know that people care about how they show up on the World Wide Web. You can use the calculator here: <a href="http://www.onlineidcalculator" rel="nofollow">www.onlineidcalculator</a>.<br><br>Thanks for starting this conversation, Chris.<br><br>William Arruda<br><a href="http://www.reachcc.com" rel="nofollow">www.reachcc.com</a></div>\

In an ideal world, yes.<br><br>In the realistic world, no, because some folks simply don\'t know what to do with it. And it\'s not so much an age thing -- I\'m 44 and people keep trying to write me off -- as a "gets it" thing. I guess I fall close to what Julie said -- it\'s a gene. But, as she also said, it\'s something that can be learend if you\'re willing.<br><br>I\'m speaking mainly to media companies, because that\'s my most recent experience. In that industry, some folks understand that blogging/social media are NOT printing a newspaper via computer. It\'s not a one-down communication. It\'s interacting, it\'s listening to readers/customers, it\'s engaging them.<br><br>It\'s NOT posting a blog, dipping your toes in to comment only on co-workers\' blogs or dropping the occasional drive-by bit of praise/criticism on other blogs. It\'s about immersing yourself in the online community. Being a part of it.<br><br>Until that understanding takes firm hold, media companies can Tweet (largely via RSS, how\'s that for interactive), Pluck or Facebook as much as they want. It won\'t help a bit until they make proper execution a priority.</div>\

As are colleagues. And they want to be happy with the results. So it\'s clear they *get* the WHY of a blog or other Web presence. But fear and lack of experience seem to hold many execs back from the WHAT or the execution. A surprising number seem to think that blogging and twitter (if they know what it is) are for other folks. They care enormously about their digital footprint. But they\'re too busy (and important?) to work at creating and managing that footprint. Interesting, huh?!</div>\

Particularly, as another commenter points out, a major media conglomerate such as Gannett should not only require their executives and outward facing employees have a Web presence or two, but they can and should be linked and cross-linked in as many ways as possible. <br><br>One of the drums I often beat in this argument is that a Web presence such as a blog or other personal page puts a name, a face and a personality to an otherwise frightfully anonymous corporate presence. I *always* recommend <a href="http://www.linkedin.com" rel="nofollow">LinkedIn</a> and <a href="http://www.naymz.com" rel="nofollow">Naymz</a> for an excellent professional presence. We want to know who you are; we want to know who it is we do business with on a regular basis; and in this case, we want to know who it is we\'re trusting with the news on which we rely so heavily! If your personal politics don\'t match mine, for example, do I find that your organization slants its news in that direction? Or, if we agree, do you have research avenues that I might want to know about?<br><br>By the way, you can see my LinkedIn and Naymz profiles here... ;): <br><br><a href="http://www.linkedin.com/in/shetech" rel="nofollow">LinkedIn</a><br><a href="http://rebekkah.hilgraves.name" rel="nofollow">Naymz</a></div>\

Twitter is cool and all, but you need more than that to build a "web presence." Web presence merely means that your "brand" or company is wide and far. I see a few people that are doing the same exact thing I am doing, and they have a really good idea what "web presence" really means; personal platform. PERFECT definition.<br><br>But what really bothers me is that employers DON\'T want this for their employers. I don\'t care what you read, I read a few websites saying that employers don\'t want their employees to be blogging, whether it be good things about the company or bad. And even if that person isn\'t doing anything surrounding the company with regards to blogging, they still don\'t want it. They don\'t even encourage it; they\'re creating rules on not blogging, ESPECIALLY during work. <br><br>That\'s not all, I\'ve read newspapers saying the same thing, what\'s worse is that, what they say about blogging is kinda leave it, or embrace it. On top of that, they seem to imply that the person\'s brand is tightly connected to the company\'s brand. And they say that "when a company employee spews negativity, the brand is a jerk." Its not exactly like that, but similar. <br><br>It is a very good concept if you want to take control of what people say about you. But you have to be \'there\' first. That is, your brand has to be present FIRST.</div>\
