A brand takes a lot of work to build and maintain, but who are you working for yourself or your clients? In your case you're directly blogging/networking for Bruce Clay so its specifically a role requirement, so from your personal connections and success you and Bruce both benefit; but not where someone is meant to be doing other SEO/SEM related tasks. We interviewed someone once who when asked what they wanted to be enthusiastically said "a search marketing celebrity" at that point it became evident that their 'celebrity' came before clients success, needless to say they didn't get the job. </p> “but I feel as though it’s my personal brand”…you see that’s the issue.

I often feel guilty about the distractions, especially after losing myself for an hour… yet it keeps pulling me back in.

I’m certain a day will come when I post a blog entitled – ‘Social media cost me my job’… :)

The job I have to do doesn't require second-to-second knowledge of changes in software development. I would frankly be concerned about executive functioning and the ability to filter, if someone I was hiring was twittering during the interview or revealed a high level of dependency.
