Using the Internet as a means of promotion & organization

I'm looking for a job and decided to read the book, Guerrilla Marketing for Job Hunters. It's full of some great advice. One of the many suggestions was to get involved in editing stuff on the web. Sure why not! Now it just so happens that I used other of the authors recommendations that have resulted in my building and launching a personal web site. Now I'm going through the motions to make sure I'm easy to locate on the web. In the process, I came across Google Directories. This resource is totally compiled by editors that are putting together fragmented informaiton across the web. Well, based on the above, I decided to volunteer.

I haven't yet figured out the relationship, but its called The Open Directory Project. Their goal is to produce the most comprehensive directory of the web by relying on a vast army of volunteer editors. I am beginning by volunteering to critique personal web sites of people local to Virginia.

Ultimately, it all goes back to the end goal of getting involved and doing something.
