I was reading last week about a Google patent which it would appear allows influence tracking. If this is the case, one's influence may truly represent a real competitive advantage within the workplace. Clearly, those with large networks of acquaintances have a greater resource from which to mould a solution. By the looks of it, it wont be long before organisations truly embrace the social media within the recruitment and selection processes.

Thanks, glad you enjoyed the piece.

That's a good point you raise there - there are already some fears regarding companies looking at a potential employee's social media identity and gauging what kind of person they are by comments made and general views.

Which seems a bit off, to say the least.

Of course, if Google ever does become a tool in resume profiling, I'm going to go by the shorter version of my name. I figure "Dan Brown" might get me some writing gigs... ;-)

Another great article, Danny. It's becoming so easy for information about an individual to be trawled; I wonder how long it will be before Google becomes as important in one's resume as referees!
