When asked to do a Vanity Search I became very curious. What is out there about me? Do I have a digital footprint? Or how big is my footprint. Well I would say my foot print is very small! I was somewhat surprised, but then I thought about it and continued to search. Mostly what I found were incorrect addresses from when I was in college living in Denton which was 15 years ago. I found a few old photos from when I was in my twenties, and that’s about it. I was surprised how many people have the same name as me and spelled the same!
So why is my digital footprint so small? It’s an easy answer though I do participate in social media I am very cautious of where things go. I know it is because of my profession. I make sure I disable all that I can so that I will leave as little trace as possible, but enough that I can participate.
A digital footprint can be as big as you want and as small as you want, but it takes knowledge about the subject matter to be able to control.
