Responding to Compteach

I just wanted to add this link in support of Compteach's comments. Pardon the cliche, but Big Brother has been watching us for a long time ... http://dsc.discovery.com/convergence/koppel/interactive/interactive.html

Conversely, I recently read an article on the digital footprint and how employers are encouraged when they find the names of potential employees on the web. Many like to see that these candidates are tech savvy and using the computer as a tool.
The writer of the article suggested typing your name in its various forms to see what comes up in a search. Try it in Google. Google images, etc ... The writer then suggested taking certain measures to eliminate any negative "footprints."

I did the search and came across something I did not expect- My name on a site called ratemyteachers.com The site is used by students to evaluate their teachers. Not for the thin-skinned!
