Ted Leung makes a good point - you are what you write. The new norm in interviewing is being Googled, and - if you have a blog - what you've written there will show up.
Recently I've been doing a bunch of interviewing at OSAF, and I'm experiencing something new. Of course, we all know that people Google each other before meeting each other, so I sort of expect that people will Google the folks that they are interviewing / interviewing with. Recently, some of the folks I've interviewed have brought up information that they Googled on me (predominantly from my blog) during the interview. This has lead to brief moments during the course of the interview where I really felt like I was being interviewed (which of course is really always true). Just more first-hand experience of the way that blogs and search engines are changing our day to day lives.
I remember being told about my permanent record back when I was in school - I think this means that I actually have one now...
