The Internet. Reading 2

Google is a search engine that is used worldwide and is arguably the best search engine. In an article entitled When Google is not your friend written by Declan McCullagh it states that Google records searches and when asked court order will divulge an individuals search history. This article makes me realize that the Internet is not even close to being private and that things looked up and written down has the potential to be seen by many. The other article that struck me was about developing my own personal brand on the web. Journalism students need to market themselves in a way that represents who they are. It tells me that I need to develop a personal brand for myself and show the expertise that im expecially good at. Its important that if a person types my name in on Google that my name will come up first with information about who I am.
