Plus photos that I didn’t expect to be public. It definitely needs managing! Now to find out how. http://sophiehigman.wordpress.com/2009/05/26/digital-identities/

What digital identity literacy skills do we need to teach? 3. How can we manage our online reputation if we are not in control of our data? 4. Is privacy a thing of the past? 5. In what ways is the discourse of danger a barrier to individuals engaging with their online identity e.g. your personal details are easy to locate, so easy that Internet criminals can steal and use your identity?
