Posts by Navin & Abhilash about how blogging might affect the corporate scenario later on made me think about whether blogging is really as impressive as we made it sound.
On one hand, you can use your blog to advertise your products as is exercised by Malcolm Gladwell and Seth Godin. There is surely a huge market for Viral bloggers out there, but that's when you use it with corporate intentions, what about ones personal log entries where one opines?
What if in the future( or is it being done already) recruiters start to scan your social networking accounts and blogs in order to get a real insight into your personality? Would that be ethically correct on their part? And would it be smart on your your part to go around exercising your free speech and maybe jeopardize an opportunity coming your way( mind you the other way is also possible)?
I can think of anonymous accounts or rather under a pseudonym as a suitable alternative to this issue. The reason I say this is because:
1. While your anonymous, you have the power of choice as to whom to disclose your identity to.
2. You can fully be vocal about your issue without thinking twice about the repercussions as as your corporate life is concerned.
