I enjoyed reading the checklist and will re-evaluate my use of social media to make it (hopefully!) a more productive use of my time.
The main point I took away from Googling myself was how many Angus Ferguson’s there are in the world. Although we can think of ourselves as being unique I read a number of profiles from an Angus Ferguson in the USA or Canada which wasn’t too far away from my own!

I wasn’t particularly surprised with what came up in the search – I happen to share my name with a famous actor and the search was strewn with references to him; obituaries, Wikipedia entry, IMDB entry etc. I … Continue reading 23 Things – Thing 3 Digital Footprint
