Image and Safety Standards
1) Internet safety: Help reducing digital footprints tracing back to you
•Limiting personal information being put online will probably be the best bet in reducing the amount of information that is put up in the cyber world, thus decreasing the chances of finding digital footprints.
•Changing privacy settings and adjusting who can see what, especially with social networks like Facebook, will prevent strangers from accessing too much information about one’s self. If a website like Facebook or LinkedIn require personal information like birthdays, phone numbers, and such then changing to a strict privacy setting is optimal for protecting disclosed information
o Make sure other friends do not post things you do not wish to be shown because the things they include you in is not in your control or don’t do reckless things that will provide self-incriminating evidence
o And don’t put up things you will regret in the future, possibly conflict with jobs or just something embarrassing.
2) Image management online:
Having multiple identities online provides multiple uses. Some may be for work, like a “public personae” where the identity is the more formal, and others may be for just social interaction. Choosing which identity for the best scenario is important when it comes to the audience it is intended towards. When a user does not include a real name and there is no pinpoint on who he or she looks like, then the obligation of that user becomes minimal and the things posted by the anonymous user is not directly subjugated by criticism and judgment. This opens up the amount of things one can say online, but their credibility is also reduced. Then there is the actual identity where there is matching information provided, possibly with pictures, where others can directly identify. In this case, the user is pressured in what he or she is willing to say and put online because then the comments made are directed to a specific person.

Communities
A community is a group of people who share similar characteristics and participate in activities distinct from other communities. Many of times, communities make an attempt to help eliminate distance between others and social awkwardness by bringing members together. The attractiveness of communities is an important factor when gathering members, but communities cannot be formed without the participation of those who reside within, and it is the job of the community to have activities and provide enticing events to get people engaged.
