Digital Reputations(a few notes)
Anne Collier NetFamilyNews.org

On ‘digital footprints’• Lots of messaging based on
assumption• Topic tied to public versus.
private• Fears/concerns creating a
product category• Topic is a ‘moving target’
To offer some balance…• 81% of teens use privacy
settings, vs. 76% of adults• Anecdotal evidence of
sophisticated teen practice• ‘Super log-off’• Temporary posting• Hidden meaning
New rep-monitoring tools• Google’s new ‘Me on the Web’
• Monitoring what’s public on Web (e.g., Safetyweb)
• Monitoring private activity on Web (e.g., United Parents)
RE: public/private binary• Of course keep in mind
‘invisible publics,’ but…• Aristotle’s either/or is blurring• Degrees of personal &
collective expression• Privacy more contextual in user-
based media environment
Our messaging to dateBased on research from GoodPlay Project at Harvard U.:
•Inconsequential use
•Sense of inefficacy
