What is a Digital Footprint and Why is it important?

What Is My Digital Footprint?
In my Footprint I use Twitter, Facebook, and Blogger.
- For Twitter I use it to tweet out about what I do in school, school spirit, and reach out to my friends. Twitter is so people can post events or ask questions, most people use it to tell their friends what they are doing.
- For Facebook I use it to talk with friends and sometimes post things i'm doing. It is used for reaching out with friends and also used to persuade events. You can tag people on pictures of things you guys did together.
- For Blogger I used it so that I can make a reflection blog on my 20% project. In Blogger people use it so they can make blogs about things people would be interested in for example like recipes, vacation ideas, or anything you are interested in.
