Jessica's stuff - all the places that I have data that I don't own/control:

• Twitter
• Facebook
• Instagram
• Flickr
• Dribbble
• Yelp
• LinkedIn
• Google - maps, etc.
• Delicious
• Fitbit
• last.fm

• Blogs

What to do?

• Start with jessicaklein.com
• Can move data over part by part
• You can't do everything you want to - you need to prioritize the things that are most important

Framework

MAKE YOUR MARK

make a personal site

GENERATE

link to where you are elsewhere - or you can do POSSE, publish on own site and syndicate elsewhere

SYNTHESIZE

Cluster, synthesize

CONNECT
