We can no longer ignore the huge impact that Web 2.0 has on our careers and lives. Through these web applications our personal and professional lives are converging. And the trend is rapidly increasing; we see it more and more every day. People are being fired for providing their views on Twitter or for complaining about work shifts on Facebook.
As a professional, you have an online reputation that is influencing the decision-making process of your stakeholders. You are being “watched” online. So, take control of that online reputation before it’s too late. In the May 2010 issue of the ATA Chronicle, I wrote an article on managing your online identity and offered some tips, tools and techniques that you can use right away to protect it. Your future and the future of your profession might depend on it!

Hi, Marcela:
I enjoyed your article in the ATA Chronicle so much that I read it twice! I wanted you to know that your advice and your blog are quite helpful and enjoyable to read.
Actually, I’m procrastinating right now, but with an honest purpose: I’d like to know how to get my blog on the ATA list of translation blogs. I’d be very grateful for any help you can give me to make that happen.
Do check out my blog. I’d love to also do a mutual link with yours, if you’re ok with that.
Sincerely,
Eric W. Vogt, Ph.D,
ATA Certified Eng>Spa since 1993

i Eric,
I’m very happy you enjoyed my article and my blog postings.
I’m trying to find out how you can submit your blog to the ATA Blog Trekker. I sent an email to the ATA Headquarters and I’m waiting for their response. I’ll let you know as soon as I hear from them.
I added your blog to my Blogroll. I think it’s very informative and the content is engaging. Keep up the good work!
Saludos,
Marcela
