How to Defend Your Online Reputation: Five Tips
by Dan Tynan, PC World, February 26, 2008

The article expands on and makes site recommendation for these top five hits:

1. Google Yourself
2. Comb the Web
3. Opt Out Early and Often
4. Do Your Own Background Check
5. Defend Your Reputation

It's like story-telling for adults. Play truth or dare. Take names from the audience.

Seriously. It's a perfect literacy event for the 21st century.

I have been giving an online reputation management presentation for the last few weeks, for attorneys in our firm, and it's been very popular. This is an important topic, something people are interested in, and an area where librarians can help make a difference.
