Social Networking or Bust

Hey Guy’s and Gal’s,

I recent read an article on the New York Times that was entitled “The Web Means the End of Forgetting”

And one paragraph in-particular talked about “The Library of Congress” where it stated:

There are more than 100 million registered Twitter users, and the Library of Congress recently announced that it will be acquiring — and permanently storing — the entire archive of public Twitter posts since 2006.

Now, not only the Library of Congress but, more and more employers are looking to the internet as a part of there search for new employees. In some cases this is a good thing, but then again maybe not.

If you have posted something in a negative light, that could be used against you as stated in the above article by JEFFREY ROSEN Published: July 19, 2010

So in leiu of all of this, does thing change your perception of social media? Does it change how you look at social media?

If you are outsourcing your social media tasks to a third party I would clearly define what they can or can not do, and if your doing it yourself I would be very careful how you portray yourself online.

What are your thoughts? I encourage you to be careful in your social media usage.

Have a wonderful day
Timothy
