Reputation
What is reputation?– “Reputation is the general opinion (more technically, a social evaluation) of the
public toward a person, a group of people, or an organization. It is an important factor in many fields, such as business, online communities or social status, and includes the social connotations associated with an individual's name” ▪ Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=reputation
How do these reputations form?– Social interactions– Professional interactions– Rating systems– Out of context information– By people with varied backgrounds and interests in your health and welfare– Search engine rankings
Do reputations matter in – Your personal life?– Your professional life?
Who Am I?
We take on many social personas Personal Professional Extracurricular
We take on many personas that potentially overlap Social Networks Photo and File Sharing SMS Messages & Electronic Mail Instant Messaging VoIP: Skype, Verizon Web Calling On-Line Games Corporate and Institutional systems Blogs and podcasts Personal and hobby websites Web publications
Publishing and interactions in these arenas impact your personal and professional reputation.
Who are we to whom and when are we that person to the world? Can we assume the right to publish what we want without repercussion? Can we assume that people don’t monitor our “private” lives? Can we assume a distinction between the professional and personal space? Can we also assume that life is not fair? Can we truly maintain an expectation of privacy?
Who? What? When?
• Technology and Web 2.0 blog• Does it merge personal and
professional?• Is it just work?• Is it just personal?• Who owns the images?• Is Vanderbilt impacted if I say or do
something stupid?
I took this picture in White Plains, New York at IBM Briefing center. Trip was at Vanderbilt expense, I pay for the blog, but it was transmitted on a Vanderbilt phone and email. Who owns it? Who is responsible?

Delta Airlines: Queen of the Sky
Delta Airlines Flight Attendant- journalspace.com “It was not until the meeting with human
resources and my supervisor on Wednesday, Oct. 6, that I learned the official reason for my suspension: "inappropriate" pictures. The unofficial reason (implied through an intimidating interrogation): blogging.”
This is one of the inappropriate pictures of her in uniform on the aircraft -- you be the judge on the rest
The Free Advice from Matt If you advertise, people will form opinions.
I support your right to do what you want and think how you want. I want you to think about consequences of the way you express yourself. Should you have an expectation of privacy? Is it self disclosure?
Be cognizant of reality – not personal ideas of fairness.
First Amendment for You? I am not a lawyer, but I understand the value of reputation. The court of reputation may not be forgiving of your privacy or protected
speech. Dismiss the opinions of others at your own peril, not theirs.
Manage Your Personal On-line Reputation Circumspection Assume it will be seen, read, heard, or watched by all the people you
would rather not (Mom, Grandpa, Boss, Significant Other, Ex-Significant Other)
