The Online “You” is More Accessible Than Ever

As technology exponentially progresses, more of our lives (including work) are being accessed through websites hosted by servers invisible to us.

Apple’s recent iCloud announcements give further proof that the world is shifting to a cloud lifestyle model. Wondering when you’re going to start using “the cloud?” Guess what–you already are.

The world is lifting to the cloud

The cloud carries your individual “essence” wherever you go, allowing you to connect to your individual interests, family, side businesses, blog, and, of course, your company. Just as your access to the cloud is easier than ever, so is the cloud’s access to you–meaning that people can search for you, read about you, watch your videos, read your content and more–from wherever they are, whenever they choose.

And, that’s why it’s more important than ever to ensure your online personal brand is accurate and up-to-date. Does your online brand represent what you want to show the world? Now is the time to tend to it, because the cloud lifestyle is growing fast.

So, knowing that your online personal brand is out there for everyone to see–and that more and more people are going to see it–does it say what you want it to?

Psychology says older adults who scroll the most in the evening usually aren’t the loneliest people in the house. They’re often the ones who found it, quietly, the safest substitute they have left for calling someone directly.

Keeping the counter clear while cooking is partly a private habit and partly a quiet form of consideration — a way of leaving the kitchen usable for whoever moves through it next, without needing to say so out loud
