There are times I will discover something posted about a company, particularly through Twitter, where that person is purporting to represent the company. Usually they are doing so in a negative light, impugning the business and casting a pall over the entire operation. Everyone needs to be diligent to protect their online identity and visibility. .-= Matt Keegan´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.matthewkeegan.com/2009/08/28/how-to-help-your-clients-when-they-arent-even-asking/" rel="nofollow">How To Help Your Clients (When They Aren’t Even Asking)</a> =-.

Congratulations too on your hard work and clients clearly seeing the value! I agree, it is amazing to compare how you want to be seen to how you are seen. The results can also yield clear distinctions that you miss and can better leverage. If you're ever up for having an in depth discussion on radio or contributing a guest post, I'd welcome your insight! Randy, thanks for sharing from your personal experience.

We just started using WebDig. Pretty powerful. The conversations we now have with the brand managers are like a 180. The days of clients knowing the answer will soon be over. To their credit, they are excited about this time of discovery. We recently did some pitch work, and were able to demonstrate how their goal was in complete opposition of how people viewed them, especially their loyal customers. A great success and great feeling to be able to provide such detailed information that supports rather than supposes.

More than future employment, the greater concern is security. Teens have a high rate of identity theft because they are far too comfortable with technology. I have seen teens put their address and phone number on Facebook, expose their whereabouts in real time on their blogs without a thought that they could be inviting danger.

I've educated my daughter about the use of social networks and how it can impact her college and working future. You can only do so much. But seriously, do colleges and hiring managers expect kids ages 12-17 to be completely conservative and straightlaced online? Kids make mistakes. That's how they learn. If you protect them... they won't survive on their own. .-= Meryl K Evans´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Meryl/~3/hJGc04rKzEA/" rel="nofollow">Watch What You Blog, Post and Tweet Online</a> =-.

And parents need to monitor what their children are posting online. In spite of popular culture, we don't need to put all of our thoughts, feelings and lives on the line in real time. It can come back to bite you later.
