Let's Get Personal

Reputation Management is an area my friend Emma McGrattan and I wondered aloud about at the Red Herring Global 100 event last December 2007 in Seattle. Andrew Wyant of LifeLock was also part of the conversation. We hit on some big time ideas and I don't doubt these ideas are worth million$ billion$ so I can't go into it here. But I would be happy to share F2F over coffee or champagne.

I will disclose that I need to do some Reputation Management myself, and it must focus around a site called mary.com. I believe they've got some SEO spamnology in place that identifies when someone searches a name, and them incorporates the name into a mary.com blurb in the search results. I found out about this today when I started thinking it strange that a couple people asked me why I never talk about how I'm Canadian (not, I'm a NorCal native), how I'm so mature for my mere 24 years (a-HEM), why I'm so into Personality Tests (as if answering 500 questions is fun), etc.

So, in my opinion, Mary.com is way way uncool and I'm not signed up with them. Could be the up-n-coming track star that I have my eye on. Watch it ST!
