Kevin's+Digital+Tattoo

Thank you for visiting and contributing directly or indirectly. I am hoping to post to Wikipedia;however, they warn that new articles are often deleted. Five years ago,I started [|__Information and Media Literacy__]  in Wikipedia. The concept has grown and has international contributions now.

I am starting this within my twitter network, then transfering to Wikipedia once it is a bit more polished. Below is my initial thinking. Please contribute and add your name to the contributors below

Thanks

Digital Tattoo

While our footprint is the impact we have left behind, we also are marked by all the digital exposure. Your Digital Tattoo are the permanent marks left on you through exposure to technology and the Internet, rather than the [| __Digital Footprints__]  you leave in the web.

We have been able to google our names for years and get a snapshot of our Digital Footprint. We need to change our focus to how the web is leaving marks in our personal and professional worlds
