2. Why is your web identity important?
It is important to
understand the
implications of what you
post online.
Web searches are easily
available to anyone with
internet access.
The information that
you have made available
about yourself in the
past and today can
impact your future.

5. Facebook
I deleted my Facebook account recently
because my interest in using it dwindled.
I did not have any inappropriate material on
my Facebook page, but it is not something that
I wanted to be a part of my professional
identity.
6. Twitter
I am relatively new to Twitter (6 months).
I am selective about who I follow and who I
allow to follow me.
I prefer to protect my tweets for privacy and
use Twitter as a personal form of social
networking with people that I know.
7. Pinterest
I love browsing Pinterest, but I did not like
that the link to my site came up in a search
engine.
I decided to disable that feature in my settings.
Unfortunately, there is no way to make your
Pinterest page private so just be aware of the
information that you repin!
8. Building a Professional Web Identity
I do not see myself making any changes to my
online identity as of now. I plan on keeping my
social networking sites personal and private,
but possibly creating a educational resource
through an alternative Twitter account in the
future.
