Talk about having your googling... yesterday morning I was giving a seminar in front of room of real estate brokers... and the end, one of them came up to me holding her smartphone... "I googled you while you were speaking... and all your credentials popped right up... I guess you know what you're talking about." There are flaws to her logic, but I took the compliment anyways... I'm glad you were able to control your own name (and passwords) again. happy birthday ;) ~ Vikram totally agree... I'm amazed at how fused our personal & professional lives have begun: Our phone number cross over (with the cell phone) and now our web presence too (with the likes of facebook, and our blogs even). you can google facebook accounts already, btw... and soon facebook will allow people to stay anonymous. Parents are hip to MySpace, but not yet to Facebook... they should warn their underage kids to stay private. But for those of us on our personal brand soapbox, Facebook and our own blogs are great cross-references! ~ Vikram <a href="http://www.personalbrandmarketing.com" rel="nofollow">PersonalBrandMarketing.com</a> lemons to lemonade, man… coolio!

Often times people look at bad situations, and they think bad. Good way to find the good in a negative situation. That is testament to your character, thanks for the example. Dan,

You can easily do that with ACT!, Goldmine, Salesforce, etc. I recommend a free account on JibberJobber.com (my website) where you can import all of your Outlook contacts, LinkedIn contacts, etc (anything that exports to a csv file!). I've used JibberJobber to find contacts from a library or other office when I'm on the road, as it's kind of become my personal roladex. Good luck piecing all your stuff back together Dan!
