Managing Your Online Persona, Part I

by Brandon Giles (republished from his personal blog ) Why Care? It is becoming more important than ever to actively manage your persona on the internet, particularly if you operate in the fields of entrepreneurship, venture capital or marketing. In general, persona management is more crucial in industries where your value and success depends on personal human capital and others perception of that value.

The launch of Samsung's successor to Galaxy S II smartphone is scheduled on 3rd of May in London, so we won’t learn everything today, but perhaps we’ll know the device name.  Rumors say that galaxy S III will be the next milestone in the field of Android devices and would also be the official mobile device for the London Olympics 2012. Well personally I do not think that Samsung would name the successor as Galaxy S III, though there are a lot of chances. We will get to know more just after 3 hours of wait...
