This is done by deep self examination and analysis to find out who you are; then figure out how to effectively get that across to others. Our readers are individuals that want to learn about self branding. We did not limit our reach to just one demographic. Everyone is welcome because it is all about you when it comes to your personal brand. Projected advertisers were researched and found on the basis of them advocating self branding. We have chosen Facebook Inc., LinkedIn Corporation, and VistaPrint Inc. As for the competition, we simply found websites that were similar to ours in content. “The YOU Brand: It’s all about you!” is the name of our blogging site that we created to convey the message of personal branding. We have three postings on our blogging site: one interview and two articles. The interview that was conducted was with a small business owner. We asked this business owner questions about how he came to successfully create a personal brand as well as a brand for his business. Two articles gave informative steps to differentiate you from others in the workplace. Lastly, there is a creative article on the importance of understanding the concepts of humility and pride.

...every day. From online education to Social networking, Social Web has become a part of everyone’s life some way, somehow. We are now able to share websites, share photos, and use Social networking as a friend locating tool, free of charge. With all of the options and choices we have available, we can do just about any day-to-day function if we have a computer with a web browser. What is Social Web? The Social web is a specified term for the World Wide Web as a kind of Social Media. The term is currently used to describe how people socialize or interact with each other throughout the web. The Social Web mostly refers to Social networking, MySpace for example, and content-sharing sites (which also offer a Social networking functionality) within Web 2.0. These Social websites are mostly formed around the connections of people of the same interest, but there are several theories that specify exactly how this formation works. There are for example said to be “people focus” websites such as Bebo, Facebook, and MySpace, that focus of social interaction often by making the user create an online identity and a profile. There is also socializing on the web that is typified by “hobby focus”. For example, if one is interested in photography and wants to share this with like-minded people, then there are photography websites such as Flikr, Kodak Gallery, and Photobucket. I just love the fact that there are so many social networking sites to choose from all over the web....

However we are here to present to you what security, users, and possible threats to your mainframe issues can impose. In today’s society we deal with many types of hackers and they are not like the 1980’s. Today we deal with threats unlike ever before, some examples would be: The stakes are high as the Institute of Medicine (IOM) highlights in its recent publication related to privacy: “Breaches of an individual’s privacy and confidentiality may affect a person’s dignity and cause irreparable harm” and “[unauthorized disclosures] can result in stigma, embarrassment, and discrimination.” IOM: Beyond the HIPAA Privacy Rule—Enhancing Privacy, Improving Health Through Research, February 4, 2009” 1.

...when someone steals your personal information and uses it without your permission. It’s a serious crime that can damage your finances, credit history, and reputation. It can take time, money, and patience to resolve. Once identity thieves have your personal information, they can drain your bank account, run up charges on your credit cards, open new utility accounts, or get medical treatment on your health insurance. Furthermore, the internet offers access to a world of products and services, entertainment and information. At the same time, it creates opportunities for scammers, hackers, and identity thieves (Privacy and Identity). Identity thieves are resourceful. They dig through your garbage, the trash of businesses, or public dumps. They may work or pretend to work for legitimate companies, medical offices, clinics, pharmacies, or government agencies, or convince you to reveal personal information. Some thieves pretend to represent an institution you trust, and try to trick you into revealing personal information by email or phone. Some of the clues that your identity has been stolen are for example: withdrawals from your bank account that you can’t explain; don’t get your bills or other mail; debt collectors call you about debts that aren’t yours; unfamiliar accounts or charges on your credit report; medical providers bill you for services you didn’t use; IRS notifies you that more than one tax return was filed in your name; get notice that your information was compromised...

...This section starts by looking at the influence of information and communications technology (ICT) on how it affects the ways in which people work. It then considers the different ways in which organisations may use ICT. In particular we focus on the various stages through which a company may pass, from simply using it to collect information, to a strategy where linked ICT systems control the whole process from initial customer enquiry through to manufacture and delivery. We then go on to look at the question of security. Use of the internet and Web has significantly increased the risks of theft or loss of information that may be of benefit to criminals or the organisation’s competitors. How can individual managers act to reduce those threats? The next topic is the rights of people whose personal information is collected and stored by organisations. You’ll see how governments around the world have introduced data protection legislation to protect people’s rights. Finally, we’ll look at the ways in which governments and other regulators require organisations to report financial and other information. This may be, for example, to ensure that the organisation pays an appropriate level of tax, or to ensure that potential investors have accurate information about the company. Influences of ICT on Work Mullins identifies four major influences of information and communications technology on people at work: * It influences the specific design of each person’s work.Think of a...
