So, I am starting to toy around with "authorship" in search engines...some consider it invasive and offensive, invasion of privacy, yada yada yada...some consider it brilliant data mining and consolidation of information.

Additionally, allows further networking between members outside of the HRC platform.

I have provided a mechanism for people on either side to participate or not, in such things...in your profile editing you will now find options to add social media links to Google+, Facebook and Twitter accounts.

These links will trickle through your article submissions and forum posts to your profile, and your profile to those social media outlets...and they are tagged to denote authorship...

In terms of a professional in the field, here dispensing real knowledge and information (we do have some honest pros here) this will raise your authority in search engines, and consolidate your knowledge as search engine embrace the relationships more and more. For those just here talking **** and having fun, there isn't much of a net gain or net loss, just a longer audit trail through your online persona.

So, fill out the social media links if you wish, if not, that's cool too, unlike some of the bigger places on the net (yeah, looking at you, Google and Bing) I am not forcing a relationship, just allowing it if you choose.
