What if half of writings on Danny's Log weren't really written by Danny? Would you believe it?
That's how much we naturally and automatically connect blogs to indivdiual persons. Personal brands are finally starting to exceed the brands of institutions to which individuals belong. The world of e-lancers are finally coming true.
In movie, music, and sports industries, the importance of individuals has been at the the very core for a long time. Of course, that was possible because those individuals get exposed more, thus more transparency. We the audience can SEE and evaluate the activities of movie actors/actresses and directors. The same goes with atheletes.
Blogging has raised the level of exposure for "average" individuals. More transparency is looming day by day as skills and competencies of individuals are increasingly being revealed to everyone. More exposure also increases the importance of individuals. We can expect people to move more freely from companies to companies, from organizations to organizations, and from institutions to institutions. Now, finally a more flexibile labor market! (at least in Korea.)
Brands can be born and sustained without the mediation of mainstream media, meaning each of us individuals seriously needs to start taking care of our own personal brands. The most safe and assuring strategy here is to build "real", not fake, skills and competencies and let them be known to the world. The world WILL notice. Sometimes, even in a very short period of time.
