Fairly recently Google introduced a new tool to manage your online presence. With so many social networks and other tools to be involved in online it's nice to have one place where you can store links to all of them. Enter Google Profiles - and what better a place to store this information than the place where others can "Google" your name. Here is my Google Profile.
Besides my blog, I've listed my Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn profiles as well as links to the Fellowship that I'm part of and the company I'm working for. A lot of these profiles (especially LinkedIn and Twitter) show up in the first couple results when you do a Google search for "Bryan Povlinski." However, with my Google Profile it lets me dictate exactly what I want to show when people search for my name. I do wish that Google would display my profile at the top of the search results, but it can actually be found at the bottom of the first page. I think this is important to have if you're trying to establish your personal brand online and set yourself up for the career you want to have.
