I knew I would have some links when I searched myself I did not think as many as I had. When I googled myself I had 8 different links that had me or where about me in some weird way. Out of the 8, 3 were from school, and 1 was my twitter account that I only used for a week to experiment on and see how it worked. I also twisted it around and put in the name I go by on Facebook, Nosilla, to see how many links appear, 44 different links regarding Facebook and my page or the groups/fan pages I have made. My real name appearing on google? Did not scare me because it was to be excepted with what I have been involved in or do. Those 44 different links regarding people that I have interactions with on Facebook? Completely freaks me out.
I know a good portion of the sites I go to tell you when signing up (especially online shopping stores, which majority of the sites I go to are), and I except sites to be respectful of my privacy and what I wish to share is my own damn business and no one else. However recently, as many before have written about and read about Facebook is starting to become a death trap for people to wish to be private on the internet. They have taken what used to be fully protected to slowly taking away any privacy settings they have to know saying that they own the rights tot he things you put on their site. As much as they might say that that is not true, the proof is there in front of us. It comes down to this idea that they pretty much own your identity on the internet; and that should not happen.
