Personal Branding Summit audio available (free)

Blogs are a very significant part of your online personal brand, and your online brand is of course a major part of your brand.

How many people Google you before meetings? Answer: most. And they find your blog(s) if you blog, among other things. I recently asked a group of a few hundred people at a keynote I was giving how many had Googled me before attending -- almost all hands went up.

The awesome Personal Branding Summit recordings are available online (and free).

So far, I've listened to the following today:

• Phil Gerbyshak -- awesome man. Errr, I mean GREAT.
• Jason Alba -- impressive, I learned a lot. More from Jason soon.
• David Meerman Scott -- OK David, you convinced me. I'm writing a viral ebook (soonish)

I have learned concrete actionable things! Not theory, but easy things I can do that will matter. OK, writing the ebook may take a while, but it shouldn't be hard.

Going to listen to Guy Kawasaki, Debbie Weil, and Neville Hobson next. And I'll add that Krishna De (imagine competing with a god for search engine rankings) and Kirsten Dixson did a great job running the show.
