My Social Media Resume is my attempt to gather in one place all the ways I am socially constructing my online identity.

I have participated in many forms of social media on the Internet since I first went online in 1993 – from early listserv-type discussion groups and discussion boards to the social-networking venues, such as those at the right and more. I have been a member of some of these networks for several years; others I joined when I launched this page.

Call it research; call it an experiment – I would like to see what will result from building profiles (socially constructing my online identity) on as many social-networking/ social-media sites as I can.

I got the idea for a Social Media Resume from the page of that name by Bryan Person, although I actually  modeled this one more on the Social Media Bio of Rohit Bhargava.

It's probably a good thing I don't have a stalker – that I know of. – as this social media resume would make it pretty easy to learn a lot about me.

I saw three results within 24 hours: A Google alert for "Katharine Hansen" for my Ziki profile, stating: "Katharine Hansen uses Ziki as a self marketing tool to promote her personal brand and be listed on the top of search engines results." A couple of my new profiles came up in the first few pages of a Google search. And I was invited to an online yoga seminar as a result of my Xing membership.
