What Hacker News says?
Hi James, There is a professional marketer who was a speaker at an event I attended who really impressed me with her self-branding. Both her LinkedIn profile and her website are very good and they inspired me a lot to create a good one for myself. http://www.karenx.com/ . The linkedin link is at the bottom of the page.
