If you’ve never heard of this latest thing in Web 2.0, don’t worry. It’s new, but interesting.

The always innovative guys at WebProNews have an interesting take on social marketing and your online reputation.

L.A. Management Company’s promo video on Free IQ gives a nice overview of the business case for adding video to your web site. When the costs of showing the video to prospects and customers is zero, everything changes.

This week, I had the chance to play in the Monday Pro-Am with PGA pro Craig Bowden, a really cool guy whose daughter is a year older than my twins. That itself would have been great. But the fivesome also included Shawn Casey, Jeff Paul and Jim Fleck.

Anyway, it was a blast. The weather was great, and Craig was a great sport playing with us hacks. On this tee, he grabbed the orange flag from the Marshall and signaled that Shawn’s drive was wide right.

This is pretty funny. Looks homemade, but there’s a lot of work behind it. Click here for a very funny “video resume” and enjoy.

I hope the video resumes that are sure to appear on Free IQ will be cool, too.
