When I reflect back on the history of the career development field, the birth of the Internet really initiated a major change in how career development takes place. However, the emergence of Web 2.0 has brought in an even more profound shift to what career building means today. The ease of which people can co-create knowledge that helps one to learn, grow, plan and make significant changes is phenomenal.
There are many examples to choose from, as starters, I recommend getting to know both LinkedIn and Technorati.
Happy Co-creating!

Rob, I wonder if you'd care to expand upon your remark, "the birth of the Internet really initiated a major change in how career development takes place." A lot of us reading your blog would be very interested to read about that.
Hey Bill, thanks for asking for the expansion on this one. In thinking about it I realize I have a lot to say on it. Over the next few days I will post a variety of ideas onto to the Blog to (hopefully) clarify my thoughts and observations on how Web 2.0 is changing the career landscape.
Cheers, Rob
