Online reputation becomes increasingly valuable

Tumblr has more than 221.7 million blogs and 102.7 billion posts; 200 billion tweets are sent on twitter a year.
Facebook has 1.23 billion monthly active users and as for Instagram, they have 300 million active users.
Is social media and online reputation more important than money and power? 95 percent of teens are now online. Is it safe to say that online reputation is becoming more important to teenagers?
According to Michael Fertik, online reputation is becoming more valuable to people rather than money or power. People care about how they act online – what they post or who they follow.
Moving from big data to even bigger analytic’s, the amount of information you give about yourself, like the things you post, increase each time you log in.
A person’s online reputation might, in fact, affect his or her future jobs. So anyone wanting to freshen their social media, join as many social media accounts as possible. If you’re advertising, get good reviews and share them – share good information about your company or yourself around so that people start to notice it or you.[TS-VCSC-Content-Flip flip_style=”style1″ flip_effect_style1=”horizontal” flip_effect_style2=”ts-flip-right” flip_effect_speed=”medium” flip_size_auto=”true” flip_size=”200″ front_html=”false” back_html=”false” read_more_link=”false” read_more_txt=”Read More” read_more_target=”_parent” front_icon_replace=”true” front_image=”270956″ front_image_full=”true” front_icon_size=”70″ flip_border_thick=”1″ front_icon_frame_thick=”1″ front_padding=”false” front_icon_padding=”0″ front_icon_color=”#cccccc” front_icon_frame_color=”#000000″ front_color=”#000000″ front_color_title=”#000000″ front_background=”#ffffff” flip_border_color_front=”#dddddd” back_color=”#000000″ back_color_title=”#000000″ back_background=”#ffffff” flip_border_color_back=”#dddddd” read_more_color=”#000000″ read_more_background=”#dddddd” animations=”false” margin_top=”0″ margin_bottom=”0″ back_content=”“I post a lot to get more followers.“” back_title=”Savannah Ferguson, freshman”][TS-VCSC-Content-Flip flip_style=”style1″ flip_effect_style1=”horizontal” flip_effect_style2=”ts-flip-right” flip_effect_speed=”medium” flip_size_auto=”true” flip_size=”200″ front_html=”false” back_title=”Hend Alrawi, senior” back_html=”false” back_content=”“What I do is post pictures that are meaningful to me.
