Top Ten Links Week 9

My personally selected top 10 from the links I shared on Twitter from 2/26/2010 thru 3/04/2010 1 . Are We Becoming Our Own Puppetmasters? – a thought-provoking post from Venessa Miemis asking the questions “What do our online personas do to our physical-world identities? As we invest more time into developing our digital selves, is something taken away from who we are? Or something added?” 2. Librarian Essay Contest: 22 Essays in 28 Days via @LISNews: - go vote on your favorite essays and keep an eye out for the winner. 3. Do You Make These 3 Common Mistakes When Trying to Improve Your Self Confidence? – I know I have been guilty of all of them at some point. You sit around and hope that you can solve it in your mind somehow. You focus on the wrong things. You don’t prepare. 4.  Online Content Should Never Have Been Free via @libraryriot @Newsweek:- an interesting look at what we expect to pay for content changes based on the format in which we access it. 5. Has Digital Media Changed American Youth? what effect is the connections of social media having on the young? 6.

Remember Who You Are

Remember Who You Are

It can be hard to remember who you are. I don’t mean your name or where you live, I mean who you are deep down inside. We are all so busy, with events rushing by and people whirling around us, its easy to lose track of yourself.  But it’s when you are distracted from who you really are that you most need the solid foundation of  you. When I saw the new logo from  Hugh at gapingvoid it really struck home with me. It seems so simple, yet it is so easy to forget, some times we need a reminder.

My Problem with LinkedIn

My Problem with LinkedIn

and online reputations in general. I have a profile on LinkedIn (as I do on many social websites) because many people and blogs I think highly of have recommended it.  Now I’ll be the first to admit I’m probably not using it right and therefore not taking advantage of it properly.  Here is something I noticed recently while updating my profile. This is a section of my profile showing my position at MRRL.  Three people wrote me recommendations (which I appreciate but I’m not sure what good they do) After these kind people wrote wonderful things about me I can change my position anyway I like.  In this case I made myself Princess of Georgia. I know what you’re thinking, there is no Princess of Georgia and if there were it certainly wouldn’t be me.  ;-) That isn’t the point.  I can change my job description, title or any part of the position at any point on LinkedIn and those recommendations stay right there. This is my problem with online reputations.  As more of us establish an online identity, we interact more  with others we meet online and we base our opinion of them on who they are telling us they are.

Social network profile management Greg Schwartz Michael Porter Sarah Houghton-Jan Amanda Clay Powers Greg Identity Digital identity mapping – online interactions make identity much more complicated Your next employer looking for your identity will do a google search You do not own your online identity Tip -own your username - if your name is unique and can grab everywhere use it, otherwise pick something - checkusernames.com - join the conversation , develop your identity by participation - listen, pay attention to what other people are saying about you - be authentic – your digital identity should be your real identity Amanda Clay Powers What are we doing here anyway How managing identity online is like managing information We know how to manage identity because we know how to manage information (really?) Our place is to educate people about what they are doing Peoples perception that librarians don’t know how to help them with their online interactions Who else is in the position to coach people with this? Who else has the number of computers we do Sarah Being online as the library Register for online sites with a generic email address, not the address of a specific staff member Quick
