We Are What We Share
We are what we share.
Just look at the last thing we published, posted, profiled, updated, uploaded, streamed, liked, tweeted or clicked.
That’s it. That’s us. That’s who we are, whether we like it or not.
And because the web never forgets – because the web is forever – we better be careful what we put out there.
A Georgia teacher got fired for posting videos of binge drinking.
A Buffalo congressman resigned after his shirtless pictured surfaced online.
A Cisco employee lost her job for publishing negative comments about her position.
A British juror was dismissed after disclosing sensitive case information on her profile.
Everything matters. Everybody’s watching. Everything is a performance.
Which isn't that hard to do, if the character you're playing is you.
LET ME ASK YA THIS…
What did you share today?
LET ME SUGGEST THIS...

Like HELLO, my name is Blog!
Amen!
So True! And timely! I happened to notice today the my last tweet was the definition of "badass" via "The Badassconference.com". I thought it was a great definition/conference/concept, but in that context, it just wasn't the same :)
Oops, I left out the context part ;)
My email signature shows my last tweet an I noticed it in an email that I was sending my mom (who would be horrified by the word badass:)
I think that our society that people have the right to opinions and should be able to express those freely without worrying about if they would still have a job the next day. Its as if we have been given these super fun social networks yet we have to be careful of what we say...
