Dan Schawbel, Me 2.0

If ever you wondered what “Gen Y” might be up to, it would be worth taking some time to study Dan and see what he’s doing. He’s written a book, Me 2.0, he’s a regular contributor to Business Week, he runs numerous blogs and is super active on Twitter, all while holding down a full time job at EMC Corporation as their Social Media Specialist. And he’s just turned 26.

In this interview we hear:

• How Dan got going – and what provided the boost for his rapid rise to influence and notice
• Strategies for managing your online reputation – something you can’t afford not to do
• What it means to play to your strengths – and how you can convert that into claiming a ‘niche’
• Me trying not to sound to old and middle-aged.

You can follow Dan on Twitter at @DanSchawbel and on his blog.
