Are you building your own personal brand?

Not so long ago, when someone said, "I'm an IBMer," we all knew what he or she meant. That person was smart, well educated and set for life.

With the recent fall of huge companies, such as GM, Bear Stearns - who most of us thought would be around well after all of us - everything has changed.

Branding is the latest buzzword. Just like McDonald's, FOX News or Madonna, individuals have to build their own brand.

Housekeeper, brain surgeon or writer like myself, it's all the same. Youtube, twittering and facebook take us around the world in seconds making resumes and CV's (curriculum vitae - an overview of one's life) so yesterday.

Dickens was right - it is the best of times and worst of times. But, with the help of technology, all of us can build our brand and make ourselves visible.

Like many of you, I am new at this and not comfortable flaunting my skills, but I will.

After all, it is 2009 and this is the ways things are done today. So, are you out there building your brand?

If not, what R U waiting 4?

So, if you want to join the well over 1,000 people who are writing about their favorite events, restaurants, or topic of the day happening in Delray Beach, make a new "friend" on Facebook. See you there.

Get paid for your old electronics

You know the drill...your pricey technology is outdated before you even walk out of the store with it.

An online company, Nextworth.com, will pay you for
for your outdated "toys."

Nextworth wipes the gadget clean so all of your information is removed and then resells or recycles it.

The company accepts cell phones, laptops, GPS, digital cameras and more. Check out their site.

After a very short and simple process (you plug in the information about the item/s) the company advises you how much they are willing to pay. It is contingent on the model and condition.

If you decide to sell, download their prepaid shipping label and wait to make some cash.

Payments are made via PayPal or Amazon or Target gift cards.
