I am intrigued by the article: Presence Is Something You Could Build Now, by Chris Brogan. He explains that we should be constantly contributing online to blogs, social media, and any other useful form.
I really like how Brogan explains in depth how we should be constantly contributing (especially in a helpful manner) online. He states that we should be contributing online because…well…he doesn’t exactly know, because nobodyexactly knows how it will be useful in the years to come. I personally see opportunities for an online presence to be seen for future employers. It would be extremely impressive to see a large list of helpful contributions and the such with just a simple Google search of a name. Especially after reading this blog post, it has persuaded me to continue to blog, even when it’s not for COMM 101 marks. The benefits of blogging about useful topics will largely outweigh just 10 percent of a class mark; it could mean a job in the future for me. Especially with the way the internet has grown, it will be increasingly beneficial for me to continue to grow my online presence.
