Digital Footprint Defined
“…the trail of information that one leaves online. As individuals use the Internet, whether it be shopping or commenting in forums, they leave behind digital footprints which can be traced and ultimately attributed to them. It is vital to be aware of the digital footprints that you are leaving as they can become part of one’s online persona.”

Social Media Defined
Social media refers to online tools and services that allow any Internet user to create and publish content.
The “social” in social media comes in as these individuals find others with similar interests and interact with them through online communities, sharing information and knowledge, offering support and networking.
Popular social media services include Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, blogs, YouTube and Flickr.

Reflection
“Online, your rep is quantifiable, findable, and totally unavoidable. In other words, radical transparency is a
double-edged sword, but once you know the new rules, you can use it to control your image in ways you never
could before.”
~Clive Thompson, Wired

A New Adage to Consider:
“Never put anything in electronic form that you wouldn’t want viewed by a million people, including your
colleagues, students, and supervisors – and your mother.”
