Just Google Me
The other day, following a meeting, I was asked for my business card. I didn’t have one on me and responded “Just Google me.” It was in jest, obviously that sounded pretty arrogant, but it brings up a good point: Everything we do, how we act and behave, can end up on the Internet. Thomas Friedman makes this point in his latest column, “The World is Watching.” Now it’s not only CEOs and politicians that need to be careful about how they behave in public, but we all do. Because that person next to you, as annoying as they might be, could be a blogger. Thus we live in a 24/7 press conference, so to speak. Ask yourself this question then: if your mom Googled you, what would she find?
