Editor's Notes
- Go ahead. Google yourself. Or even better: use a cross-search engine.
- Really. Take out your favorite device and start searching. Put your name in quotation marks. Use your middle name. Use the name of your university, your major, your employer, your occupation, your current city, your hometown. Keep searching while I keep talking.
- Use multiple engines for your search. Each one has a different way of ordering your results.
- From your search, what’s the picture being painted of you?
- If there isn’t a lot available about you, or if you’re not projecting the image of yourself you want the world to see, change it. If you’re finding pieces of your individuality, bring them together in a platform. This doesn’t need to be a time-consuming process if you employ a strategy.
- First step: establish yourself. This has steps, too, and like any good marketing campaign, establishment begins with determining your content. In this case, that means your identity.
- You may not need to know how exactly these tools work, but you do need to know what they can do for you and what they will take from you. Are they sharing your data? Can people freely download your presentations, papers, or photos? How can you make yourself more searchable using these tools?
- Knowing your tools is especially important in regard to privacy. All of us want to share certain things with certain micropublics. For example, I want to share my creative recordings with a different group than I do my academic presentations. I want my loved ones to see different photos than I want a potential donor to view. Therefore, I use different tools or privacy controls within those for each set of personal data.
- If you find something you don’t like about a tool you are using, stop using it. It may be difficult to deactivate your Facebook (and some of that material may float around the Internet forever, making the board millions), but if your social networking tool is not working for you, quit.
- It’s important to stay abreast of what’s out there and what other people are using. Remember, what they use may not work for you, but it’s worth seeing what’s available and learning more about what other people – especially other people in your field – are doing.
- Twitter can be great for you and your publications.
- We saw a lot of Karl Sorensen LinkedIn profiles earlier. Now let’s see some associated with researchers here at Mote.
- Twitter can be great for you and your publications.
- You can also go all the way and create your own website, with a personal domain. Our archivist, Gail Donovan, has done just that.
