The way that people interact and conduct themselves online is changing, and with the discussion surrounding privacy and social networks escalating in recent weeks, it seems that we have reached a tipping point. Pew Research recently released a study that focuses on individuals’ online identities, which takes into consideration reputation management and what people are really using online social tools for. We decided to highlight the most interesting findings from these reports in the graphic below. Perhaps the most interesting of these findings was that, ” the most visible and engaged Internet users are also most active in limiting the information connected to their names online.”

    Excellent post. It's clear to me that when companies invest design resources in blogging–which doesn't happen often–it will ultimately pay off in terms of circulation and popularity. Keep it up!
