I recently heard someone complain about the difficulty in keeping their online self and their day-to-day self seperate. It seems there’s an easy fix for that. Be consistent across the board.

I don’t worry about potential employers or clients looking at my online activities. Although I make mistakes from time to time, I don’t do anything I might be ashamed of later.

I agree completely. My two boys who are constantly looking over my shoulder also keep me in check.

Online, I’ll only say stuff like damn. If I REALLY feel the need to swear more, I do that whole $#@% deal, just because it seems more polite. I’m not a cussing prude either, I just don’t think it’s polite to say stuff that could offend someone else – and some people really hate swearing.

Great post. It definitely matters how you speak and act. I don’t want to listen to someone that’s constantly vulgar. There are some blogs that I don’t visit because the bloggers always seems to be at war with the world. Nothing is ever right with them.

I’m appalled at the things I see on Facebook and Myspace. Don’t people know that their friends, family, and employers can see that stuff? Why leave public mark like that?

I try to be real on my sites, but it is helpful to remember that our face and name are out there.
