The first one...

Well...hello all who decide they want to know what I think!
I decided to try this blogging business because I want to join the rest of the cyber world. Generally, I write in a journal. I tried to livejournal and other things, but I haven't maintained them. I do wonder how many bloggers there are in the world and how many actually keep up with them...In my current profession I think these blogs are really (if not now) the next big networking tool. I also understand that blogs can do two things---they can hurt or help your career. I've read numerous articles about how future employers "google" their prospective candidates and for me it sounds scary. As I see it I think (for now) that blogs are an interesting way to get a personal view prospective hires.
