Melton Web Identity Presentation
- 1. Web Identity Presentation Samantha Melton September 7, 2012
- 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.
- 3. My Research Results Information on my athletic career (stats, highlights, articles, NCSU athletic site gopack.com) Links to Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest accounts Information posted to the NCSU College of Education Website
- 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.
