This is from an archived blog posted by David Kuropatwa, from Saturday, February 28, 2009. It is titled "Google Never Forgets" and contains the contents of another blog posted by Seth Godin. David said he plans to share the contents of this blog with his classmates.
The blog has to do with your digital footprint and the effects of what you post online now may have on your future in terms of employment, friends and so forth. The entry contained a request for a babysitter on Craigs list. When the person googled the applicant's names, one had a My Space showing how they love to binge drink, another had a shoplifting police record, and the other had left a blog stating how they had to apply for a menial job beneath them and would quit the minute they sold a painting.
The whole idea is that what you do now ends up as your permanent record--"Google never forgets!" The recommendation of the blog was to leave a "trail of good stuff" and to always act as if you're on candid camera. I thought this was interesting in terms of the discussions we have had in this class. It is certainly something to make clear to our students and to remember for ourselves.
