Jonathan was recently interviewed by John Haven of BlogTalkRadio regarding online personalities and transparency for an upcoming book. John was referred to FindMeOn while researching ‘online trolls’ as an expert on online identities.
You can read about the interview, and even hear it at the following link:
Long story short, Jonathan made a comment near the end of the interview I think is extremely wise and one we should all cleave to asap: “What people need to do more is think…we’re in an (online) era where instant gratification is the norm.” But (and now I’m paraphrasing his words, and Jon, please correct me in the comment post below if need be), we have to remember our digital footprint survives long after our desire for instant gratification or to make our friends chuckle at something we did over the weekend.
In short, being transparent doesn’t mean being careless.
