By Laurie Ruettimann - I haven't always been a PunkRockHR blogger. At one point in my life, I was a career-oriented professional who believed in HR process, policy, and rules. Then one day, back in 2002, I was approached by sales representative from AIRS. I held the dual position of Global Staffing Manager and HR Manager for a widely respected insurance company in Chicago, and when the sales representative asked me to lunch, it confirmed what I foolishly believed about myself: I was talented, important, and very punk rock.

Morton said, "Social networking guru Peter Gold created Talent Cloud on Ning and is actively growing the network . . . Peter has put a lot of thought into growing the network, and it is one of the best options." While TC's numbers don't quite compare to RBC rapidly nearing their goal of 20K members, Gold said he that he takes an opposite approach to limiting memberships and aims to keep the network 'uncluttered.' I spoke with Gold about why he thinks network owners play a part in the destruction of their own site, his vision for Talent Cloud, and how apathy could become his biggest competitor.
