It appears that I may be limiting my potential paper proposal to discussing the dangers of blogging (see “The pros of blogging as a student” and “The cons of blogging as a student” for the backstory). I am searching for a few things (please pass this post along if you know of someone who may be able to provide leads):
– Articles discussing how blogging has hindered someone from being hired, most specifically in academia.
– Books or book chapters that discuss the correlation between employment/educational opportunities and blogging.
– Personal stories about how blogging hindered you from an educational or employment opportunity (if you’d like to remain anonymous please email me at brianleport@gmail.com).

The prospect of so much information being available online about me makes me nervous. It’s why I don’t comment with my last name and one of the reasons I’m wary of getting my own blog (though time is a much bigger one). I barely even give any personal details on my Facebook page. 🙂
I don’t blame you.
Not sure that I have much to contribute, accept to say that I can point to a few examples of bloggers becoming more employable. So perhaps you should be searching in both directions.
If things go as planned I will be presenting a paper that is part of a series of papers on this topic. Joel Watts and Tom Verenna will be discussing the positives. I have been given the negatives, so that it is why my search is for bad examples. 🙂
