Do You Google Yourself? 57pc Americans Do!
According to a report from the Pew Research Center's Internet and American Life Project released today, that's the number of people who track information about their Internet identities - up from 47 percent in 2006.
The survey is based on results from telephone interviews of 2,253 individuals in 2009. More and more Americans are signing up for social networking sites, and an increasing number say their work information, photos and birth dates can be found online.
46 percent of adults use online search engines to dig information on people from their past, and while 38 percent have searched for friends, 16 percent have searched for information about an ex-flame.
This new trend of social networking has definitely quieted peoples' fears about privacy invasion, with more and more people parting with personal info like phone numbers.
"Contrary to the popular perception that younger users embrace a laissez-faire attitude about their online reputations, young adults are often more vigilant than older adults when it comes to managing their online identities," Live Science quoted Mary Madden, a researcher at the Internet and American Life Project and an author of the report.

My name "Rob Abdul" for the last 4 years has been my brand name.Google has 3,360,000 results for my name Rob Abdul.I was so proud when my name appeared in Google suggest. I'm Number 1 for my name on Google, Bing, Yahoo, Ask, AOL and many more! It may not sound like much but at least 60 to 80 people Google me a month. It is nice for the Ego, I must admit!
