I don't think that blogs themselves should act *AS* resumes though. I think special coding should go into them, as they're a specific type of communication in and of themselves. For example (shameless plug) my resume: http://scott.connerly.net/ . It doesn't just list Ajax/PHP/Web2.0, it IS all those things.

It's a great web app. Anyway, I'm not sure if you are getting the same type of thing, but I've been offered a couple of jobs due to the visibility I get from my blogging. Nothing I've chosen to go with yet, but it is interesting none-the-less. Also, those same people do still want to take a look at a traditional resume. So, though blogging can play a big part, and will continue to play a bigger part, in recruiting your resume is still important. I see you got the same anti-emurse comment spam as I did.

Not for my broker, or any other broker in town, but for prospective clients. Without even meeting, they have a pretty good idea about us. And as one of very few Realtors with blogs in my market I stand apart. Often, at a first meeting they will ask questions based on something they have read on the blog.
