Big Brother is Everybody and Everywhere

While the theories of a “big brother” conspiracy consisted of cameras on every corner and “the man” watching your every move, the reality is everybody is big brother. The cameras on every corner have turned into the camera in everybody’s pocket.

The television monitors in hidden basements are now YouTube, Google Video, and Yahoo Video. Behaving in front of the media now means, behaving in front of everyone in public.

Your reputation is under constant scrutiny, especially if you are a recognized figure in your community. One drunken slur at a restaurant could turn into a page one ranking on Google showing a YouTube video. An over reaction to a speeding ticket could turn into the an email chain letter around town. Everyone’s cell phone is watching and waiting.

Ok, no need to curl up in the corner of your house and never go outside. The solution is simple… behave. If you simply conduct yourself professionally in public, you can avoid most embarrassing online mishaps.

The other solution is keeping yourself in the public. By having an active press release stream online do to a law firm marketing or search engine optimization campaign, you keep your name in a public, positive light. This can help burry information before it even surfaces.
