Geek 2.0

Recently, someone from our local marketing team asked me to remove my signature from a paper we were about to publish in the local IT press.
The argument was that publishing my name alongside with the article is like sending my resume to a recruitment agency, something they’d like to avoid obviously.
What about the blogs ? Aren’t they much better source of information for recruiters ? And they are officially authorized by Sun !
Honestly, I don’t understand marketing…
