debunk personal brand
DESCRIPTION
In my talk about Personal Brand for the Connect IT conference yesterday, with a little help from Carlos Mandelbaum, I debunked the Personal Branding industry ... put the concept of Personal Brand as introduced by Tom Peters in 1997 in context and explained why it is still a useful metaphor for late adoptors and then went on to take a deep dive into why understanding online identity is critical in the drive toward Enterprise 2.0 and for everyone who plans to thrive in the age of broadband connectivity.TRANSCRIPT

At first new media will look like a predecessor (tv like radio, email like letters) but it eventually it morphs into something completely different.

The medium is the message.
This is merely to say that the personal and social consequences of any medium – that is, of any extension of ourselves – result from the new scale that is introduced into our affairs by each extension of ourselves, or by any new technology.
