Online Reputation

Personally, I manage everything I post on any of my social networks. As a high school student who is preparing to apply to colleges, I have to watch what I publish on this public websites. This is because anyone and everyone can see my posts. Even is someone’s account is on “Private”, people they don’t know can still see some of their posts. Also I have had some of my friends get in trouble because they’ve posted something they shouldn’t have. Some of these kids ultimate got suspended from school, in trouble with their parents, or lost their good friends. In my opinion you can’t get rid of your digital footprint. I believe this because everything you tweet, post, or like; anyone can see this and then report it. Therefore posting it on their profile so other people can see it. So even if you delete the original post, it really isn’t gone. After researching tops for managing an online reputation, a lot of sites suggested different things. One site suggested to never argue on a social networking site and to be polite and to remember that nothing is every truly deleted.
