I think that it is bad for people to look you up on the Internet and see what you are talking about. If you look up the wrong thing you could be denied of something and it could effect your life dramatically. After reading this i am more concerned about what i put online because if i write something weird it can affect me later in life, colleges might not accept me and jobs might not hire me. I think the main point of this article is that she wants to inform readers how people can search you u and how the Internet and what you look up can affect you. Also to tell you how you should use Facebook and other social networks carefully and be careful what you searched up.

Facebook trouble?
In this article called "Facebook is using you" the author Lori Andrews talked about how Facebook is making money by advertising and that how people can look up what you do on the Internet and judge you by it. They talk about how you would get denied for something for the wrong thing you put on the Internet and what you talk about. You put a lot of personal information of yourself on the Internet and colleges, jobs and the IRS could deny you. The people you look you up are called "data aggregators". The article says "If I've googles "diabetes" for a friend or "date rape drugs" for a mystery story I'm writing, data aggregators assume those searchers reflect my own health and lifestyle.
