A digital tattoo is something personal to you that is stuck online. It can be anything from pictures you post on facebook to a comment you left on someones blog. Not all digital tattoo's can be bad. In some cases they can be good, it just depends what you put online. The scary thing however, is that once it is on line it is nearly impossible to erase, just like a real tattoo.
Luckily with all the theft in the world there are ways to protect your blog. One way is http://pipl.com/, a widely used tool to help people learn ways to protect there accounts. With pipl you can find pretty much anyone you want so it shows you the scary effects of the Internet. Another website that can help you keep your blogs safe is http://digitaltattoo.ubc.ca/. It is a great site that show different ways you can guard and protect your settings. Two other really good sites to protect your information are, http://www.lostartofblogging.com/ and http://www.catswhoblog.com/.
I believe that blogs are both good and bad. There can be obvious harmful effects form it. For example, people can post harsh comments and people can also find out a lot about you. However, blogs can be great. They can help with classes, they can help other people, and they can also help you get into college or get a job. Having a blog is a good idea as long as you know the harmful effects. So I have learned to protect my identity and not put up anything stupid. Therefore I can be proud of my digital tattoo.
