"Character is like a tree and reputation like a shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing." Honest old Abraham Lincoln knew what he was talking about. Just imagine his reputation score. But today, even his shadow would look longer.

Stupid title. The useful bit of info from the article is the FICO-like score that is/will be attached to your online reputation culled from various social activities. Think about that next time one of your bad jokes or hyperbolic comments is misconstrued.

Suspending Habeaus Corpus will do that for you.

And to think, I used to wonder why people used “Screen Names” instead of their real names.

Now I wonder if I should use a redirecting service to blur my tracks!

My “Digital signature” is pretty small by modern standards, no be a Twit on twitter, no abandon ALL privacy on face-book, no Linkidn, etc.

Looks like I may have to abandon more forums though.

If I stated my full derision of these companies exploiting us like this I would be banned.
