If someone searches for you on the Web and finds nothing, do you exist--professionally? More and more, the answer is "maybe not". The online community is no longer just a resource; it's an expectation that anyone who is anyone have an online presence. And that means professionally as well as personally. You can no longer expect your professional standing to progress if you don't have an easily accessible, broadly informative presence on the Web. But that's not going far enough; you've got to contribute something--sharing information with your peers via blogs, speakers, webcasts and articles. Other choices are social networking sites like LinkedIn. More than ever, getting ahead and remaining on the upward curve in your career involves taking these steps.
