Manage your online identity.

Bryan Veloso, formerly of Facebook, has written a wonderful piece about LinkedIn and claimID. I’ll quote the big finale here, but definitely go and read the whole thing. He gets it.

When you get to a certain point, you can’t control what people start writing about you, but what you can do is filter that content to the necessary parties. Remember, it’s about being pro-active and taking control of what’s out there. These services won’t do the work for you and you’ll only get as much out of it as you put into it.

His About page is one of the best I’ve seen anywhere - a collection of textual overview and then links to specifics. His links include LinkedIn, Facebook, Flickr, and claimID.

That’s proud company we keep, indeed.

Bryan’s definitely going in the sidebar over there under favorites. Thanks Bryan!
