I’m very surprised that no one has posted about their predictions for 2009 yet. I’ve seen a lot of “best of 2008 posts,” but no predictions! One can only assume that you will see a flurry of posts in the next couple of weeks, as thought leaders are trying to make predictions for next …

Today, I spoke with Chris Russell (Luke Skywalker) and Peter Clayton (Obi Wan Kenobi).

The Fall of 9-5 Work Days and the Rise of ROWE
Today, I spoke with Cali Ressler and Jody Thompson, which is long overdue. These two are some of my personal favorites because they believe in a virtual workplace, freedom and logical reasoning.

The future
I’m still holding onto my future prediction that instead of a resume, video resume, cover letter, portfolio, paper business card, and references document, your personal eBrand will exist as a single URL. You won’t be able to toss 10 different URL’s to hiring managers because they don’t …
Schawbel Report: The Current State of Personal Branding Worldwide [March 2008]
David Sifry, who is the founder of Technorati, used to always make a “State of the Blogosphere” report. These reports would analyze the amount of blogs being tracked on Technorati (a blog search and ranking system) and other metrics, including how many posts per minute.
