It's something I've been trying to fix lately. It's not only about your online reputation, you should care of your offline reputation as well. I don't mean it in a tricky way, by deceiving people : You should try to provide value for others via your blog, etc... Do some projects, talk about them. It's important because, as a developer, you usually don't make a lot of connections with others. If you don't do anything your only connections will be your peers and little bit a variety is better. Even if you and I would like to be valued on our technical knowledge, it won't bring you very far. If you don't talk, nobody is gonna to know you. I use my blog more like a platform to share stuff I made, or thought, or to clear my mind about some idea. It's also something I can point potential employers to when I'll need it. It doesn't really matter if you don't have readers, it'll put your resume apart in most interviews. Also I added many local folks in my twitter, and it leads me to some meet up that gives connections with new peoples around me. I live in a medium city in the south of france, if I can met people there, you can probably too.
