Yesterday I had the pleasure of presenting to the CPA Australia IT Discussion Group on the topic of social networking websites, and how they can affect your business and your career. If there’s one crucial message, it’s that you need to be judicious about what you put on the internet, use the privacy options on Facebook/MySpace, monitor the internet using tools like Google Alert, and be honest and transparent in your dealings with clients online.
Oh, and I think it is essential that all right-thinking adults reconsider their decision to vlog naked…
The presentation is provided below as a PDF. Astute members of the audience will note that I removed the photograph of my wife and I on top of a mountain – for the sake of the children.
This is a companion piece to two articles I have written for InTheBlack magazine (CPA Australia’s journal). The first article (“It’s about who knows you”) is in the June issue, and the second article (“Virtual water cooler”), which is scheduled for July 2008.
The presentation was a lot of fun – please feel free to leave feedback if you attended. I know we went a bit overtime – mostly because of a venue mixup and, to be frank, I had too much material :). It was great to present this on the day that I received notification that I’m now an FCPA.
