This is interesting, I have never thought about personal brand.
I tried to google my name and the most relevant thing is my facebook entry. My wall and profile are public so everybody can see what is my age, education, choice of books and music.
There are some profile pictures too. These are taken while I was on holiday so people can see that I enjoy travelling. Maybe I should change the current picture of my profile showing me drinking a pint of beer. It might convey the impression that I am on the bottle but for me it is a reminder of a very good time I had recently in a restaurant in Budapest.
As for my blog I need to do some work, the style could certainly be improved and be more interesting.
Hardest thing is to find a style for you! I am still trying differents one for fit and havent found 'one' yet after a year of looking! I did purge my lovely facebook and am very very careful what I put up due to my job, I type all my owrds as if I will have to stand in fonrt of the headmaster or head of service and justify them, it has curtailed spontaneity but as most of the 'silly' posts I wish I had sent a few days/weeks later it isnt a big hardship ;-) also means I have time to spellcheck more posts!
