Social networking?
This is a blog about how to create a web presence, manage your online reputation, “fabulize” your online life. Intimidated by big words like “user-generated content”, “microblogging”, “social networks”,…?
Concerned about your privacy? You should!
This blog is about putting out what you want to be out, while keeping privacy and online security in mind.
Where does it start?
Do a vanity search. Search your own name online, full name (“first+last”, “last+first”), last name only, or abbreviated (“abbr first + full last”) – first tip: put your name in quotes to get an exact match. Or if you have a nickname, try that too. What do you find?
Wha? Nothing? OK, keep cool, stand up, and quietly back away from the keyboard… This is a good thing. No one knows you online. If you want to keep it that way, then unplug now.
