Marge Simpson Googling Herself
"All this time I thought 'googling' yourself meant the other thing."
A PEW/Internet Survey out this week found that 47% of internet users have done ego searches, up from 22% five years ago. That nearly half of internet users are searching for themselves seems excessive, but only 3% say they check regularly. Most (74% of those who have done such searches) have only checked once or twice. As our use of the internet decreases our privacy, the study also found that most internet users don't find this to be a concern. 61% of adults don't feel they need to limit the amount of information found out about them online. Only 38% have taken steps to do so.
