I think even as an entrepreneur it&#39;s important to have your social profiles in place.It increases credibility, makes you more accessible and of course helps you in marketing your business. On similar lines, I wrote an article titled &quot;5 must-have profiles to boost your online brand&quot; which gives some tips for some of the most popular sites to have your profiles in place: <br /><br />http://www.bombayquotient.com/boostyouronlinebrandDhaval Doshihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08300662359153227769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5642780762625660374.post-61901809817316817312010-01-15T10:05:22.736Z2010-01-15T10:05:22.736ZIt was great to meet you yesterday Charlotte. <br /><br />I&#39;m sure your perspective will act as a wake-up call for some in the academic world. As Richard says the two cultures of the educational and business worlds do not always mix smoothly.<br /><br />Whilst, many of the areas you mention are not strictly &#39;academic&#39; e.g. personal brand, e-portfolio&#39;s, personal SEO - these are the things that often help to differentiate a person from other graduates.<br /><br />Graduate employability figures are vital for University recruitment and I think the point you make about winning new students is an important one to consider.<br /><br />Any initiative that can boost employability is to be applauded.socialwebthinghttp://socialwebthing.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5642780762625660374.post-38548578506778825992010-01-14T18:15:49.637Z2010-01-14T18:15:49.637ZIt was good to meet you there today, and thanks for summarising the session so well.<br /><br />There are two cultures: the educational world of universities, and the workplace world - and the two don&#39;t always mix smoothly.<br /><br />I&#39;m impressed you picked this up (but perhaps I stirred it up a bit).6p00d834205d1853efhttp://profile.typepad.com/6p00d834205d1853efnoreply@blogger.com
