Mark coined the term 'Blankbabied' in the comments on this entry and I like it. Howard ran with it on Philly Future and I'm hoping it will enter the blogging lexicon.
What is getting Blankbabied? Well, much like being Dooced is getting fired for your blog, getting Blankbabied is getting HIRED partly because of your blog.
Ok, people I need your help to make it happen! Get to postin'.
I just wanted to let you know that I've been Blankbabied. I got my brand spankin' new job partly because of my blog. During my interview with my future boss, she asked me what I do for fun and I told her that I have this product review blog. She took a look at it and got a laugh out of it. She told me that my blog made her believe that I would be someone fun to work with. So here I am with a sweet new job.

Scott, I posted a Blankbabied Wiki for you, but I'm fighting the neologism defense and am not sure how long it'll be there. Here's the link (href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blankbabied)

Scott, won't all the postin' be more effective if everyone points to the same entry? To which entry shall we link--this one or your original post about the article?

Umm.. I don't know. Any link that uses the word 'Blankbabied' should work. Plus, you yourself may have been Blankbabied!
