BEWARE: Why you should Google yourself!

In my marketing class's first assignment to Google myself, I've explored my social network accounts being displayed on Google for the world. When you think about it, the world being able to witness your information can be uncomfortable, without the proper regulation. Before it didn't occur to me the significant value the Internet would contain about myself. If you haven't searched yourself on Google yet, I highly recommend doing so. It should come to your attention to best protect yourself by all means when dealing with the Internet. In any given circumstances you want to be conscious with your actions especially on the Internet. The main reason to keep a good track record of yourself would be that if your applying for a job that definitely applies in this matter. When I Goggled myself, I found an old Twitter account that I haven't accessed in over 3 years and can no longer access. My first reaction to that Twitter account was pure embarrassment because I was young and naive about Twitter. I joined Twitter because of the hype it was producing but not having known the impact that it has been in the social network services outlet. This has further influenced my perception about myself online. It came to a conclusion that everyone should be aware that when you sign up for an account that your monitoring and understanding the terms of the services. Be aware that any social network accounts you have can be private by changing your name or privacy settings. While having control of your own social media accounts your aligning yourself in the way you want to be perceived on the internet. Know your limits by limiting what your providing on the internet. You don't want to make a mistake that would jeopardize your career goals and path. Integrity at its finest is best when taking steps in the right direction.

From when I first looked up my name on Goggle to now, I've developed a better reputation for myself. I still have the embarrassing (exaggerating) Twitter account present on the internet when I search myself on Goggle but I'm more advance and conscious about what I display on the internet from then on. My biggest take away was having the knowledge of the social networks aspects and how to utilize them better. Being able to update yourself adequately and properly will evidently gain the respect you want to overall achieve. My journey with searching myself on Google became a revelation for improvements. I ultimately BEWARE at all times on my social network accounts and so should anyone else!
