Managing Your Online Identity
I have very strong opinions on first impressions, I am an avid believer of the phrase, 'Don't judge a book by it's cover' However, I also realize that not everyone holds the same belief as me.
In today's online social world we need not only to consider your physical first impression as well as your online impression.
Are you are familar with the notion of 'googling yourself'? I am sure everyone has done it at one time or another. Typed their name in the google search box and see what pops up. What people may not realize is that many people are also typing names (perhaps yours) into a search engine to learn more about a person, perhaps in preparation for a meeting, an interview, or soon afterwards.
I have recently started using a search engine designed just for this purpose. Spock.com - the best for people search. It is not like google, it is not a generic search engine, it is specifically designed for looking up information about others (or yourself) The link below is to an interesting article on their site about how they can help you manage your online idenity.
So the next time you are meeting someone for the first time, and trying to figure the right way to shake his/her hand, ask yourself, will this person be searching for me later?

Opening a Document as Read-Only in Windows Explorer
Subscriber John Jordan asked how it was possible to open a Word document from the Windows Explorer in a manner similar to the Open Read-Only option that appears in Word's Open dialog box. Such an option is not available when right-clicking on a document in Windows Explorer.
