Presence on any Social Media platform exposes us to virutally millions around the globe who could literally rip your career apart for one questionable 'tweet' or 'status update'.

While celebrities have professional online image managers, we could certainly gain from some handy do's and don't about building a strong professional image online. I came across this article which has some interesting pointers about just the same across important platforms such as Twitter and LinkedIn. The author points out an important and rather ignored aspect of sending the templated 'I would like to add you to my network' message and the impersonal & dry impact that it has on a poentially career changing connection. Comparing it to an actual human interaction, we would never go about it in that manner.
