Our digital footprint is something has raised more concern over the years. What we post about, who can see it, who we interact with all have taken center stage to a debate of what is appropriate to share. The other end is when is it okay to bring what is on your social media in the workplace and have use it against you.
LeNora did a good job of walking the class through how to monitor our social media so that we are not targets of being put on the spot from an employer for our actions over social media. I found it very interesting that she had a friend who lost their job due to a social media post.
Being in PR I know that you have to control your own brand and that it is crucial that the "you" that is on display on social media is the "you" that you present in public. Now that does not mean that you can't show a photo of having a beer, legally, or talk about the fun you had at a local hot spot or New Year's party, but it is responsible posting that is important.
Post should represent you and the brand that you want to portray. It is as simple as being the same person that you are on the internet as you are in public.
