This week’s assignment was very eye opening for me. I really had never Googled myself before – I really have never had a need to. WOWEE!! That is all I have to say about this topic. The information out on the internet about me while factual, was shocking. I was able to see all my old addresses, Instagram posts, Facebook posts, LinkedIn profile, my business blog, and a handful of local articles about some non-profit work I do. I also found pictures. Mostly my profile pictures from various social media sites, but also photos from the articles written about me.
If I had much more time on my hands, I might consider doing something about all the personal information that can be found online. In the meantime, I will keep an eye out for information that may not be factual.
During my research on myself, I Googled my kids to see if any information was on the web about them. Thankfully, there is none just yet!

Twitter on Sale?
While I am proficient at most technologies, the behind the scenes of technology is over my head! So, researching Twitter this week was a bit difficult for me to find articles that weren’t written by MS MIT grads. I am more of a “for dummies” series kind of reader. Several of the articles I read talked about Twitter wants to be purchased and no other company seems to want to purchase it. The late part of 2016 saw yet another company pull out of the running to purchase Twitter. The common perception is that Twitter doesn’t make enough revenue off its users. That does make sense to me. When I use twitter, I feel a lot less bombarded with ads like I do when using Facebook. I can see how that might mean that Twitter doesn’t make enough money. Since that last company turned away from the deal, no other companies have come forward, but according to other articles, the CEO of the company isn’t worried. However, some key executives have begun leaving Twitter, signaling to some in the industry that Twitter is in trouble. As a business person, it seems to me that perhaps the industry is waiting for Twitter’s value to tank before they step in and make an offer. It seems Twitter is heading downhill, so it would be a smart business move to wait for the price to fall. Like a good sale!
