Online Portfolio(from:job interview question...)

["G. Runnings" <gwynethr -at- bigfoot -dot- com>]

I have been reading through the thread that began as job interview 
question: ethical questions, which has generated some discussion 
about how interviewers use portfolios.

This is a good question, and seems to involve a couple of things. Do 
you provide copies of work to leave with the potential employer, do 
you bring work that has been re-edited and possibly reformatted for 
portfolio use, does the interviewer read or scan, etc.

My question is, does anyone put their portfolio online? Do you think 
this is a good/bad idea? Coming from a web background and looking for 
work in the web industry, it seemed to me like a natural thing to do. 
However, perhaps there are issues that in my inexperience I have not 
considered (although I have long been a technical communicator, this 
is my first "tech writing" job search).

TIA

Gwyneth
