The virtual end of online anonymity

Schmutzie was interviewed for The virtual end of online anonymity - The Globe and Mail, topic near and dear to many of us. Earlier this week I came across Do You Pass the Social Media Recruitment Test? and what should come up when your name is googled:
1. Does not lead to something controversial like arrests
2. Leads to profession-related discussions and commentary on other social media sites
3. Leads me to their online blog, webpage or social media profiles
4. Doesn’t come up blank


The gist of the over 1400 results of an internet search of my name:

  • math education website I work for

  • math conference papers and proceedings

  • my conics webquest

  • a petition to keep Arrested Development on the air


My reason for blog anonymity? Like most, keeping my personal and professional lives separate.
