Last week at the annual TEDGlobal conference in the Edinburgh, Scotland, social innovator and technology consultant Rachel Botsman posed this question: “If someone asked you for the three words that would sum up your reputation, what would you say?”
Botsman imagines a time where you won’t need to answer with a traditional “elevator pitch,” or even a list of references or credentials. Instead, she sees “a future in which resumes and even credit scores are irrelevant, replaced by an aggregated digital reputation based on our interactions in the collaborative economy,” according to Mashable.
