The site visualcv.com defines this new spin on the resume: 

The VisualCV makes a traditional resume come alive with video, pictures and a portfolio of your best work samples and other supporting documents. Informational pop-ups provide background data on the companies you’ve worked at and the colleges you’ve attended. You can securely share different versions with your own network of employers, colleagues and friends, and control who sees what.

As the Internet expands the way in which we transmit and receive resumes, so does it have the potential to shape the growth of the format. Why settle for the hundreds-of-years-old, standard, black-and-white-makes-gray bore-athon, when you can be using hyperlinks and easily displaying your multimedia portfolio in a familiar Web format?
