Good point. Do you know of folks who have been approached that way? I'm sure it happens, but I wonder how much someone in a position to hire would be put off by the anonymous nature of the blog.

It has happened to me, but like anything else paper (websites) only take you so far when building a relationship, in the end you have to meet for a coffee and chat.

When I read a blogger regularly I develop a sense (I feel as though I do) of who they are and I tend to have some confidence in the quality of their skills, and most of them I don't even know their names, but when I need someone, I find out who the man behind the brand is and meet face to face to see if there is a fit.

I don't think this is any different from LinkedIn, because lots of times you get referrals through linked in that you don't know and just hear they are good.

On a blog you don't know them but their product (content) tells you there is something behind the blog other than a pair of hands that are idle.

One last thought, bloggers tend to be good communicators and everywhere I have worked the number 1 problem always seems to be communication, so in the end, being a blogger to me, should leave a good impression of your communication skills especially if you work in IT.

What do you think?
