Why bother having a resume?

I think I agree with Seth Godin on this one. I know I personally get frustrated submitting a piece of paper to represent myself when applying for a job or an internship. I keep blogs and have published writing that I feel is a far better representation of myself than a list of skills and prior experience. One way I have learned to remedy this is through an online resume. It allows me to submit my portfolio along with my resume in one handy link, and in my portfolio I link to the things I feel should really determine whether or not I'm a qualified candidate.
