Virtual Networking: Where's your face in cyberspace?

I have started to use these Internet resources to improve my profile in cyberspace. This quote from The Long Tail prompted me to do more on the Internet.

"Tim Wu, a Columbia University law professor, calls this the “exposure culture.” Using blogs as an example, he writes,

The exposure culture reflects the philosophy of the Web, in which getting noticed is everything. Web authors link to each other, quote liberally, and sometimes annotate entire articles. E-mailing links to favorite articles and jokes has become as much a part of American work culture as the water cooler. The big sin in exposure culture is not copying, but instead, failure to properly attribute authorship. And at the center of this exposure culture is the almighty search engine. If your site is easy to find on Google, you don’t sue-you celebrate.[1]

[1] Pg 74, The Long Tail

These are my suggestions to get noticed higher in rankings by Google.
