BrazenCareerist.com

Today I found out about a site that helps professionals from "the next generation" connect with each other and share ideas, brazencareerist.com. The site offers many tools for networking and sharing, and will even import facebook information and twitter updates. One can even import their blog and add that to their profile feed. People can join groups based in different categories, including professional and interest groups, and can share ideas with other members of the group. If there's a particular person that seems interesting, keeping up on that person's updates is easy: just become their fan, and all their updates will be posted on your "fan feed". In the words of co-founder Penelope Trunk:

"Starting today, we are calling Brazen Careerist the career management tool for next-generation professionals. In the online career space where experienced professionals win, we’ve created a network that will help young professionals level the playing field. Instead of just a traditional résumé, at the core of the new Brazen Careerist profile is an idea-based feed that showcases your knowledge, opinions and thoughts. In other words: Your potential. We all know there are pools of new talent coming into the market, but no career site showcases the most critical thing that talent should be sharing: Ideas."

The website promises to be very user-centric, with the idea that what the user has to say and what the user wants to see is most important. It's all about being part of a community that can help each other reach goals, give feedback, and above all, network with others.
