Two Quotes:
"It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it. If you think about that, you'll do things differently." - Warren Buffet
"It takes 20 years to build a reputation, and five seconds of stupid behavior to ruin it. Remember: Google is (and diamonds are) forever." - Phil Gerbyshak
Points to Ponder:
Google is FOREVER!
I teach this in every social media talk I give.
If you put it on your MySpace page, someone will find it.
If you put it on your Facebook profile, someone will find it.
If you put it on Flickr, someone will find it.
If you put it on your blog, someone will find it.
And though that’s a big risk, that’s NOT the biggest risk.
If you do something mean to someone, and they write about it, it’s on the Internet FOREVER!
Google is (and diamonds are) FOREVER!
Are you acting like it?

I like that, google is forever, ha. I've been thinking about that too, although I have to admit that's a little egotistical of me to think that anyone would really care. But I think for me, I can't be so worrisome about this, because than I can never interact on the internet, so I think it's better to be too expressive than none at all.
