Absolutely. It is a great idea, and a subject which touches all of us - whether personally or professionally. My blog address the use of social media when job searching; it can have both a positive and detrimental effect on the job seeker. I encourage all to pay attention to their online presence and learn how to use the Internet to develop a professional image and market themselves via networking and business websites. I would love to see a category for social media
