Are you a self-searcher?
If you google yourself often then don’t be ashamed. It is not a sign of your vanity or being an egocentric. If you do it regularly it means that you are in the top 3% of internet users. Users who care what The Web knows about them. Conscious, sane and sensible users.
As Pew Internet and American Life Project says in their report about the online identity management and search in the age of transparency more and more people are aware of their publicly available digital footprint. 47% have searched for information about themselves online, up from just 22% five years ago. There are as well interesting finding about our opinion about the amount of information about us available online, need for self-promoting online, transparency in the social networks and how many of us used search engines to follow others’ digital footprints.
So, if you can find time have a look at full report (PDF), it is really interesting.
Ok, enough for now. It is almost Christmas, isn’t it? I would like to take this opportunity and wish all of you Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
