After reading Bryan Alexander’s introduction, I never thought of a blog as a diary. New Media, and specifically blogs really are amazing… they’re a forum that you can share with the entire world. Which brings up another point of censoring your information because, again, the whole world can see it. Employers are talking about starting to discuss whether or not it may be acceptable to go onto candidate’s Facebook profiles.

I was thinking about this, and the idea of sharing your life online with the whole world, and so long as you manage what you say and don’t put up pictures of yourself doing anything super illegal, you should have nothing to hide. A Facebook or a blog that you can be proud of can act as a supplement to your resume, which is limited to one page.

On Bryan’s site, I found a thing about political digital-storytelling, and Obama’s use of the web to branch out and reach a broader audience. Julia’s Story is very easy to read, interactive, and has lots of information without crowding the viewer.
