Google is one of the famous websites which provides a lot of information about the things around us. It gives us answers in most of the things we are curious to know like histories and latest news. Our first assignment to Miss Dianne Siriban, our english one subject professor, is to search our names in google in order for us to discover how our identity profile looks like.
When I typed my full name in google there was no results found. I think it is because I am not using my full name in registering in my different accounts.
But when I typed my name “mara loreto” which I usually use in registering in most of my accounts, number of results appeared. The first result showed is my old twitter account which I made when I was in fourth year highschool. Currently I am not using it anymore because I had made a new twitter account for my english one class. For me to still get in touch with my friends, I decided to follow them again using my new twitter account which did not appear in the result. The second result showed is my blogger user profile which does not have any blogs yet because I just created it five days ago. I hope that after this trimester it will have number of blogs. Actually this is my first blog entry. The third result showed is the myspace account which named Mara Loreto. I am not sure if that account is mine because the last time I made my myspace account was during my grade school years and I did not put any pictures there because I was not fond of myspace. I just created that account so that when someone asks me if I have a myspace account I could say yes. I did open the link to myspace, there was no picture, given that I did not load any before and there was only one friend. I do not even know the guy friend of that account so maybe there might be another Mara Loreto who owns that account. My facebook account did not appear in google even when I type “Mara Loreto” “Facebook” because I set the security in private mode.
As I go through the pages and searched for more information about myself, I found the link to the group which my classmates have created when we were in highschool. In the link I can see the list of officers in our grade six days. Actually during my grade school and highschool days I was always a class officer and I was happy to spot my name in that link as a president of our class.
Also I was able to find the multiply which my highschool friends created and was so glad to discover it again because I already forgot that we have a multiply account. When I opened the link, I was able to see some of our old photos and cheesy comments with my highschool friends.
The results that really caught my attention were the world’s best photos and a book authored by Mara Loreto but she has a different middle name.
Most of the results that pop out when I type my name are mostly related to Spanish people or those of other nationalities. I was thankful with these because at least there are no results that are related with the television series “Mara Clara” or related to “Maria Clara” which most of the people connects my name.
As I browse the results again, I found nothing much more results about me in the internet. One of the reasons maybe is because I am not that fond of surfing the internet and not so used to that system yet. To be honest, I am just a neophyte when it comes to blogging and I am very proud to have my first blog.
My online profile can be a great help in my future plans especially when seeking for a job for a lot of new developments, discoveries and updates are being posted in the internet every now and then. For this reason, a lot of people and industries use the technology in the websites to update and learn about companies’ background, status and the people behind these companies. Nowadays, people just look for a job online and they also submit their resume online. With that fact, knowing technology and having a good identity in the internet will really affect the judgment of the people around us. If the employer typed my name and he saw a lot of awful and horrific things about me, there will be a small possibility that he will hire me. On the other hand, if I have excellent and interesting results in the internet, there will be a high possibility that I will be hired.
In my present situation, my name has only very few results in the internet. But still I am proud with my results because I do not have any terrible things posted in the internet. I will make sure starting today that I will improve my online data and technological skills so that when people searched my name in the internet they will only see good things and news about me.
