I think Brand-Yourself.com is a very useful tool. After we meet a new person we immediately look to facebook and Google to see what kind of information we can dig up on them.

We want to present a professional image while allowing people to see a glimpse into our social lives.
$99 seems like a small price to pay for professionals and companies working to build their brand, but for students just entering the workforce, this is a big expense. My question is: are their other resources that offer the same thing but for a lower cost/ for free?
