A friend told me last week that the World Economic Forum is advertising certain jobs by inviting names only - i.e. no cover letter or CV - on the basis that your contribution to society should be sufficiently impactful for them to learn about you from the cloud. (I haven't verified this but she's a reliable source.) Fantastic idea but bad news for late adopters and those too busy or humble to manage their image online. It gave me a wake-up call. Since this conversation I've blogged, tweeted, googled myself, had two meetings on flippin' feminism, attended the e-G8 forum in Paris, begun research for a new personal content project and created very cool photo and video collections on Phanfare and YouTube.
