Editor's Notes
- Five years ago Internet Safety was all about protection from stalkers and others who would do you harm. It was about keeping personal information off and avoiding explicit chats. While that remains true, the risk is exponentially increased viralness and huge adoption of social media. There is more at risk than your personal safety.
- A personal brand is a compilation of your unique accomplishments, contributions, talent, passion,and vision—five key elements that no other job seeker could possibly possess. It’s your reputation!
- Do you agree with this? What are your thoughts?
- Joshua Lipton was involved in a crash that seriously injured a woman, and after that posted pictures of himself partying while dressed up as a prisoner. He too was sentenced to two years in jail.
- Reputation: A reputation that took decades to build can be threatened by a single event. In this case, unwise comments, photos or videos.
- This is exactly what happened to Dr. June Talvitie-Siple, a teacher at a high school in a Boston community.
- After a particularly heavy night out Kyle Doyle decided that he would phone in sick and treat himself to a day in bed.To celebrate his day off Kyle, a 21-year-old call centre worker, updated the status on his Facebook page to reflect the fact.
- These are the default privacy settings from Facebook in 2005. You’ll see that your friends had access to your information and your network had little access, but the rest of Facebook was locked out.
- In 2009, now much more is open to your network and even all of Facebook and the entire Internet. You’ll notice now that your network can see your photos, but wall posts are still restricted.
- Now comes 2010. You’ll notice that the only thing on Facebook kept private by default are photos and wall posts. Keep in mind that these are default settings. Has anyone ever gone in and changed their privacy settings?
