Amanda Fox I hate when negative comments are posted next to a happy, smiley profile pic. Brand mismatch! It's a software issue, but still off-putting.

Eugene Yee: Interesting point. BC should allow multiple profile pics from which you can select a more appropriate pic for your posts~ sort of like LJ.

Trace Cohen Why do you use social media? To advance your career, meet new people or just for fun?

: All three! I want to build my brand in case I need to go on the job prowl. It's fun, meet new contacts, and making me a better writer.

Trace Cohen: That's great to hear. I also like that you are doing it "just in case" *knock on wood*. Best of luck!

Tobias Butler I'm interested to know what everyone's 140 character goal is for BC as a lawyer/future lawyer.

AC_Grindl I think I'm branding myself daily as a creative. But would like to establish the fact that there is money sense behind it.

AC_Grindl: Most people would pinpoint my creative side as pertaining to business development, promotion and sales. My efforts can help many clients.
143 weeks ago

Trace Cohen: AC that is much more clear. I'm in the same boat but more on the marketing side. I like to consider myself an "ideaman" and networker too.

Sarah West: I had fun with my Lawyer today :-) always taking the fun out of things!

Bob Larson: I'm going to explicitly disagree. I'm big into IP, but, that's limiting me now, and I wish i was more well-rounded.
