So, not entirely sure how this happened, but I had no idea who Chris Brogan was until a few days ago. How is this possible you ask? Again, no idea. But you should absolutely not be using social media for personal branding purposes until you read his blog. Because. It’s. Awesome.

He doesn’t need my promotion. Check out all his followers on Twitter (it’s a lot), but I can’t help writing a love letter to this brilliant, brilliant man.

Just go to his site, since I can’t really do it justice. There’s a ton of stuff out there (meaning the internet) making it practically impossible to sort through, never mind learn anything. Chris has it all in one place and explains it all perfectly.

When I first decided to get with the program and start using social media as a job hunting tool, I was bombarded with information. It took a while, but I finally weeded through it all and thought I knew a lot. Until I found Chris. Seriously, the man knows everything: Web tools I didn’t know existed, blogging ideas, advice on personal branding… The list goes on.

So if you’re even remotely considering using the world wide web for any reason besides watching Hulu, read everything Chris Brogan has ever written.

And hopefully – if I’m following his advice correctly – he will some day come across my blog, I’ll profess my undying love, and then we can finally run away together…
