You can’t please all of the peopleall of the time…
• If you have no visible presence online, or
• If you have a carefully manicured profile– Some people think you are cautious
– Others think you have something to hide
• If you have occasional outbursts, or dodgy photos– Some people think you aren’t careful enough
– Others think you are a rounded, real, human being

What you say, Where you say it
• The context of what you ‘say’ online is often as important as what you say.– Same is true offline, of course
– Difference is global audience and persistence of information (and risk of copy/paste or screen shots)
• Your Digital Identity is not just what you write– Other people can say stuff about you too – when
was the last time you Googled yourself?
