As a continuation of my study on Internet use and behavior the notion that there are things being posted about you or your company that you do not wish to be seen.
How you can tell that this is happening and what you can do to prevent or control it.
At a recent dinner party a conversation on whether you should incorporate Social Media in your companies business was raised. The reasons why you would want to do this are many fold. The promoters of the various platforms see this as a new area that going forward is a big business opportunity for themselves and users of their services. The question is: Is there any real merit in doing so?
The fact that there are more and more people on-line and the use of Social Media is maybe at its peak are good reasons to use Facebook, Twitter and Google + to "reach out" to your customer base.
However, there are downsides to this and the future of Social Media is by no means certain. Social Media may be a passing fad and the users of such may soon tire of it or get fed up with the loss of privacy that they perceive is happening. The fact that their personal data is being used in a manner that they have not agreed to or have no control over and the fact that there are things being said that they would rather not have others read.
