3 Personal Branding Resources

  • TweetTrak - Use this free service to track keywords on Twitter. Very helpful to track your own Twitter @ name to keep track of any replies or notes about you.
  • Google Alerts - Similar to TweetTrak but in a broader sense. Google Alerts can track virtually anything said on the web or blogs and email them to you as they happen or in daily/weekly doses. You might use this to track your own name or general topics such as “personal branding”.
  • Google Reader - A great tool to assemble and organize your favorite blogs. Google Reader lets you categorize your RSS feeds with tags which makes it easy to quickly get updates on a particular topic or category of information.

Tall (at least 6″3′), male between 30 and 45 years of age, big booming voice (HEEEEY JOHNNY!), oozing confidence out of every pore of their body, glad handing and networking extraordinaire.

In the following video I discuss the concepts of introvert and extrovert, why I believe that extroverted caricature I just described above is complete B.S., and why I think introverts have a place at the entrepreneurial table.
