Who cares about how your image is presented on the Internet.
IMHO, those who use social Media don't.
A wee bit of instant gratification when you post yest another cat video, what you did last night (naughty, naughty) etc etc is instantly gobbled up by the likes of Google and Facbook.
Over time they can build a profile of you, who you are, what you like and where you live, go on holiday etc etc etc.
This is gold dust to them and their Advertising buddies. They hold so mush data on pretty well all of us that people like MI5/NSA/FBI etc can only be having wet dreams about getting their mits on it.
Some of us avoid Favebook, Twitter etc etc etc not because we don't want our stuff out there but because we have better things to do with our life. (Reading ElReg is a nice diversion from the PHB's rants in the office).
Others avoid Social Media because they are concerned about snooping.
Sadly we are in the minority.
Perhaps one day the majority will wake up and realise what is happeneing but I don't hold out for that to happen any time soon.
