The Fastest Growing Website: WikiBios
Have you checked it out? WikiBios – the fastest growing website on the net. According to somebody, I'm sure.
Here's how it works. You set up an account and then rather than fill a survey out about yourself – you email 5 of your closest friends/family/co-workers to fill it out for you.
Granted, it takes a bit of trust. But the idea being that others will be more objective about you than you will yourself.
So I did it. I set up a bio page for Deborah Chaddock Brown. I emailed my five favorite people – oops, you didn't hear from me? Well, I MEANT to pick you but I could only chose five.
Anyway – now they will receive a note asking them to write about me. Actually, anyone can write about you – not just those five people.
I can also set up a bio page on someone else! Ooh, this could be fun.
So why do it?
It's one more opportunity for exposure on the web – another opportunity to get your name out there. Clearly you want to choose carefully when asking for input – like this posting – of course only my closest friends are reading it – but it's an opportunity for your peers to share what makes you GREAT with the web-world.
Give it some thought. Check it out – it's pretty interesting.
