My Digital FootPrint

    Some interesting correspondence following yesterdays post about "Being a professional and having social anonymity is a crime" These images are my response to "How to 'hang' yourself in public and why we should hide" You can do it your self (or with the aid of some enemies) You can present your achievements in a public place You can do something stupid You can misunderstand the term Within the context of a digital footprint why is this important.   Digital footprints are about what you say about yourself and what others say about you. You can control what you say about your self You probably are unaware of what data you have provided about yourself and to who and who they will use it You don't control what others say about you (unless they break the law) You have no idea what data there is out there that links to you from your network   Given this, behave like a professional and you will probably have a digital footprint to be proud of which describes...

I have stolen this blog from the original article at 33charts by Bryan Vartabedian and changed Doctor to Professional – As a Chartered Engineer CEng and Fellow of both the Institution of Engineering and Technology and Chartered Institute of Marketing I totally agree but I see it as a wider issue than doctors.   Professionals should not be socially anonymous. We need to be seen. Here's why going underground isn't good policy for us: Anonymity makes you say stupid things. When you're shouting from the crowd it's easy to talk smack. Come up to the podium, clear your throat, and say something intelligent. You're a professional, not a hooligan. It's 2010: Anonymity died a long time ago. You think anonymity offers shelter? Anonymity is a myth. You can create a cockamamie pseudonym, but you can't hide. And if I don't find you, the plaintiff attorneys will. They found Flea . Being a “nerd” is no excuse. Just as you're unlikely to consult a law...

  Why print with never die by a digital evangelist. And the reason is that, as of today, it is just too difficult to manage your data.  Two things have recently co-joined to make me think this.   Over the summer I purchased the Epson 650 scanner (awesome bit of kit) so that my daughters could scan old photo’s so that they could load images up to Facebook.  They got very board very quickly and I am left with about 5,000 pictures to do and I have become very selective about what I am now scanning. They also discovered that it is quicker to take a picture on their iphone of the desired picture and side load it.  Who says that they don’t get IT.   Over the weekend, whilst in the attic, I found my old Samsung Super 8mm camcorder.  After a quick clean of the battery terminals (note to self, again, don’t store anything with batteries) the machine pinged into life and we (family plus grandparents) spend Sunday laughing like man people at the ...

I have been an advisory board member of mob4hire since meeting them as an early stage start up at MWC in 2008.  Mob4Hire is an online community where mobile users help content publishers (developers, market researchers, advertisers) with mobile market research and in-market functional and usability testing of mobile applications (apps), mobile websites and mobile ad / app campaigns (appvertising). My interest, as always, lies in the data, and mob4hire has data that is totally unique. Love it. Notable things are that they now have 50,236 Mobsters on 389 different network operators in 152 countries, 1,669 mobile developers and market researchers are now registered from 88 countries and they won the “Innovative Business Model” category for the prestigious 2010 Meffys!

  http://mobile2event.com/business-day/ Twitter #mobile20     On my fireside were   Russ McGuire, VP, Strategy, Sprint. David Katz, VP, Yahoo! North America. Fabio Sisinni, Director of Mobile, Paypal. James Parton , Head of Telefonica  Developer Marketing, Telefonica/O2 UK, O2 UK, @jamesparton   There were asked to stir debate and present views that would be controversial and therefore I have not detailed who said what       Topic 1 ------   So far "operators" have only been mentioned twice.  The presentation from Irv from Yahoo! did not really cover the role of the operator.  If Apple is the new Microsoft, Google is the new apple and blackberry is the new Nokia - it has all changed in 5 years. Therefore is the operator relevant and what is left for them ?   Views   operator is the new IBM, dominant position eroded and caught off guard.  Can try the OS 2 route or champion open source.  They need to create v...
