I really don't think the rest of the world cares, good luck in inflating your ego though

I should have mentioned that blogging works well for some fields and maybe less well for others.
If you are a writer of any kind, keeping a blog is a great sample of your work. Remember that old Bob Newhart episode where the woman who was looking for a job as a hair stylist always wore her hair in curlers (it was her "sample")?
It's like that.
Also if you are a Google or Microsoftie type, then blogging is considered cool and even normal.
I'm trying to think of what fields blogging would be bad for, bringing up the issues you mentioned,. Hmmmm. Would you really want to work for such a fearful, suspicious employer?

That's a good suggestion and I should have included it.

The other thing: set up a "LinkedIn" profile. Those Google pretty well, too (and don't require quite as much upkeep as a blog)

My real name brings up a 65 year old artist, and my actual identity? I don't exist according to Google. Of course I haven't actually DONE anything that would help Google find me.
Now as Dataceptionist? I'm all over it ; )
