AIGA MN

AIGA PORTFOLIOS
National members have the option to create an online portfolio through the AIGA site. This can allow potentional employers to search for you and gives you a credible online portfolio. This AIGA portfolio is a great start if you're not ready to create your own webpage.

GMAIL
We took a poll and by the show of hands everyone that uses gmail Loves It!
Gmail can organize your emails, blogs, documents, photos and so much more. PLUS you don't have you give up your name@my.uwstout.edu - Gmail can redirect all your other email address into your gmail account. I haven't check my stout email account in a year! *if you are switching over to gmail and having your other email redirected test to make sure they are getting redirected*
GMAIL READER
A great feature gmail has is organizing the blogs you subscribe to.
When you want to get updates from a blog or website find the "Subscribe" link. Choose "Add to Google" then choose either "Add to Google Homepage" or "Add to Google Reader"
Once you've subscribed to a blog you will receive updates every time they make new post.
COROFLOT
Just like the AIGA portfolio except anyone can sign up. Coroflot

You may think that Twitter is pointless... who wants to get updates about what people are doing all the time!? But maybe you're not following the right people. Twitter allows you to be "facebook creepy" without the whole creepy part involved... and the fact that it's not facebook. You can choose to follow people you admire, firms you want to work for, causes you are interested in and get updates about events they are hosting, new products that are coming out and tons of inspiration.
Remember to "Brand" your twitter! Here's a great template from Smashing Magazine about Twitter Templates
