DON'T PANIC

Your public information, whether on facebook or any other location on the web, has always been public. Hence the word p u b l i c. Politicians and news media can get people going about things at the drop of a hat.
The wonderful thing about most social networks and other sites is that you have an option of what you make public. Of course if you are not in business or you are hiding out for some reason, this could really be an issue. However, if you want your name out, what better mode of free advertising can you think of.
My paranoia comes in what they are using the propaganda being spread to cover. What are we taking our focus off of when we are panicking over things that really mean nothing.
Think about it and remain in control. Don't let someone else control you!

MY FIRST WHAT?

Do you ever walk away from an encounter and wonder what someone was thinking? I think, truth be told, we all do. Last week on one of my other blogs I told how my grandmother used to say "First impressions are everything!" She was definitely correct and it applies big time with business pursuits. Regardless of your occupation the card you hand someone may be all that keeps you on top of the pack for a final choice on who to hire or do business with. People are impressed with nice things and that includes nice presentation pieces.
High gloss finishes and high definition photos say that you believe you value yourself, leaving the impression (even if subliminally) that someone else should value your services as well. A good provider will be able and willing to give you references of their work.
No, you can't judge a book by it's cover, but sadly that is what happens. Present yourself well, it WILL be remembered.
