I was hoping that the results would be different professionally, but it was still very similar. (Sadly, there is still the very disturbing amount of personal information that can be found about me) There is not much that comes up pertaining to me when I search my name, even with quotes. There is apparently a pretty notable person who worked for Microsoft—and apparently now works at Apple—with my name and a pretty well-known athletic biker in Europe that seem to get most of the “Laura Massey” searches without my helper words with them. One change that did occur is my twitter page came up sooner. I can assume that it is because the page has been more active these past few weeks than in the had been in the 6 years of its previous existence. By far the most results that lead to me in some way or form is when I put my name in quotes and add the name of my school, Lakeland. I tried TAMUC and nothing. I tried educational technology and nothing. I tried my name with the new places that we used like Hootsuite, Protopage, and Diigo and I still got nothing.
I am encouraged, professionally, that my Twitter comes up sooner. I feel like I am doing something right to increase that part of my digital footprint. I do think personal information should be as limited as possible and will continue to strive for that. Hopeful,ly I can continue to build the professional party of my footprint.
