Even tried blogging 2 or 3 times. But what you said about relationships is very correct. I myself do not have clients "I have relationships". This is done face to face. It can not be done on 140 letters on twitter or posting up on facebook. I can put them on Facebook after I have a relationship with them but I must constantly wash the walls from comments from other friends who are either not work related or have a sense of humor detrimental to keeping a relationship with Professional people. So my face to face works better in this trying time. I have tried the Twitter and Facebook thing for my Business. Even tried blogging 2 or 3 times.

That's why the common use of todays blog has much been altered. It's rare to see a blog like yours, which still originally be a personal diary.

But it seems impossible to get recognition and uniqueness as a writer, especially if you like pushing boundaries when potential employers are going to be googling you. I've been published before and recently I've started blogging in a personal/professional manner. Example: <a href rel="nofollow">http://copywritingadventures.blogspot.com/2009/12/being-yourself-only-dont-it-depends.html</a> It's not me on the site and though I'm still trying to inject the dry topics with some satire and personality, I'm constantly holding myself back from being me. At least until I'm established enough to be me more freely. But then what I've established wouldn't be me so much as brand-me. Sometimes, I feel like I have multiple personalities when writing for different blogs. I placed my Facebook profile on complete secrecy because there has to be somewhere people that know me can actually listen to me being me or record the journey from sanity to wherever it is I am now! Maybe I'm just cursed to incessantly driving myself crazy! Damn, if only I could monetize that! I totally agree with LinkedIn and pretty much all of your post and actually anything you write!

The key is joining groups in which you have something in common. I have gotten some good information from the group discussions.
