Samepoint.com – The Conversation Search Engine

Some of us are at the point in our social media evolution where we recognise the importance of building a personal online brand.

This idea becomes even more pertinent as unemployment rates rise (or, at the least, hiring freezes mean those out of work will struggle just a little harder for a role).

In the past, it’s been difficult to manage your social media profile. All your stuff was disparate and difficult to track. Of course, the net’s adapted, and this adaptation has taken the form of sites like samepoint.com. Search yourself here (see mine) and it’ll give you the lowdown on all your social media activity. It also has a panel displaying recent conversations from Twitter. Here’s the other bonus (and now I’m beginning to sound like a TV flogger of knife sets), it’ll give you a rating by searching negative or positive comments in your personal information.

This site has a two-fold application. Recruiters can use it as part of their background checking. Candidates can use it in the way described, to check their online profiles.

Enjoy your new knife block. i hope the bonus steak set comes in handy. (Psst. Don’t just use it for special guests).
