YOU MUST check out #MyWebCareer.com MUST
I have found a LOT of resources online and I use most of them that I present. REALLY! I have to do a trial run of about 90% of the websites I recommend.
So I created a profile on MyWebCareer.com a while ago and forgot about it. However this morning one of my colleagues posted a link to his Facebook page that he had a great career score. So this gave me an opportunity to revisit the site. Well, I will tell you that you MUST USE THIS TO CHECK OUT YOUR ONLINE PRESENCE What was great about it was that it gave details about your online presence, not just a score. It let me know what comments I made on your Facebook page that could be viewed as negative, ( not that I have any LOL) in addition to information about my job history on LinkedIn.
I can't tell you enough what a great resource this is, especially in this tough job market. Serious thumbs up for MyWebCareer.com
Sidenote, my score is 773.

Weekend recipes are now Foodie Fridays: This week Cajun & Creole Feast!
Cajun and Creole Cooking
Cajun Cuisine
Cajun cuisine is a robust mix of French and Southern food. The recipes use simple ingredients and often include a dark roux thickener of flour and pork fat. Cajun dishes include dirty rice, catfish, gumbo (a stew thickened with okra pods) and jambalaya (a rice dish cooked with shrimp, oysters, chicken, or ham and seasoned with herbs and spices).
Most recipes rely on sautéing onions, celery, and green bell peppers (otherwise known as the "holy trinity") and adding a lot of spices and filé powder, which is made of ground sassafras leaves and used as a thickener.

Creole Cuisine
Caribbean, African, French, and Spanish immigrants created Creole cuisine. Creole recipes frequently include butter, cream, and tomatoes. Just like Cajun food, Creole cooking uses sautéed onions, celery, and green peppers and filé powder for thickening. Famous Creole recipes include oysters Rockefeller, bananas Foster, and shrimp rémoulade.

Amplify’d from www.allfacebook.com
YourCampus360 is a virtual-tour online company focusing on connecting universities with prospective college students, and they have become the first of their kind to integrate their capabilities into schools’ Facebook pages.

The Facebook app is exceptionally easy to use for a student. Sitting comfortably among the tabs of the school’s page, the “virtual tour” takes the student to what is a essentially a replica of the virtual tours that YourCampus360 offers on the school’s official website. You can then choose to take a walking tour through campus, peek into classrooms, rooms, and other on-campus facilities, and also watch videos of the school.

Verizon preparing to say bye-byes to unlimited iPhone Data plan....ummm Hey AT&T about my contract..
Amplify’d from www.mobilecrunch.com
The operator currently offers a $30/month “unlimited” (but potentially throttled) data plan.
According to a Cellular News report, Shammo said “Why did we do the unlimited $30 plan on the iPhone? Well, the reason we did that was we didn’t really want to put up a barrier to anybody who wanted to come over and experience the Verizon Wireless network. So we felt it was important to go out at the $30.”
