technology tip: erase your damaged online mistakes

 if Your gaffe becomes part of "your permanent record", an author has revealed. Matt Ivester's book 'lol...OMG!' tells college students and others how to undo or to avoid making mistakes they may later regret-embarrassments, that do permanent damage their employment   prospects.


  • first of all Google your self , so that you will be able to know what comes out about your self before  fixing it  -take a look quickly and do the same with other popular search engines such as bing , yahoo , etc ..

After you've searched about yourself and know is the result the search engine give you .... and see what are the  trouble spots, ask any of your  friend to go through the same exercise as he may see things you've missed.

  • Second step: - go through the on-line content you have control over that  and remove from it  from data available on net .. what u no longer want to share or what u think that is inappropriate or dangerous to share...

Cleanse your, Twitter blog  and Face-book pages. if u find the content you think you don't have control over that ask the owners  and politely ask them  to please remove it.

  • Third step, create new positive content - if you can't remove  everything that's negative about your self no worry because its old one , says Bryce Tom, CEO of Metal Rabbit Media, the next best thing is to do is overwhelm and suppress it by creating new, positive content. The new material will show up higher in search results for your name.

  • Fourth step :, prune your friends - be sure you know what's public and what's private on the sites you use, says Iv-ester. On Face book, prune questionable friends. Organize remaining ones into groups, according to their trustworthiness or their area of interest.

Doing this presents an opportunity to re-think what you're comfortable sharing on- line, whom you trust and whom you don't.

  • Fifth step , hire a professional scrubber - depending on how many gaffes you've committed,  professional will manage your problems .

Lastly, hire a PR professional so that as soon as   embarrassing information about a client appears there, your PR will handle that .
