Those who surf the Internet using their first and last name or even a pseudonym or a nickname (which is always the same and unique), has its own online identity . According to Google, online identity is determined not only by what you post and write on the internet by signing up, but also by what others post about you .
In fact, you can be mentioned in a blog post of a friend or soccer tournament, you can be tagged in a photo or in a response to a public status update.
When someone searches for your name on a search engine like Google, the results that appear are the combination of the information that you have sent and that published by others .
Our online identity, even before the birth of Facebook, is defined by the material placed on the net by ourselves or by others .
Google has therefore launched a new section called " I on the Web " which can be accessed from the Google Dashboard (if you have a Google or Gmail account).
As explained in detail, the Google DashBoard is the summary of the Google services used.
This Io On the Web is used to search the internet and see in which sites your name appears.
" Me On The Web " or " Me on the Web " is nothing more than a clearer and more immediate way of configuring Google Alert to receive alerts whenever your name, surname or nickname is mentioned and mentioned on the internet, in a web page that can be found on the Google search engine.
Knowing who I am on the web then becomes a way to protect your online reputation thanks to automatic alerts.
You can then click, in the Google Dashboard, on the link under the I on the web section, where it says " Set search alerts for your data ".
That's Google Alert, however, shown in a more intuitive and personalized way, where you can activate the notification or warning option whenever your name or email address is mentioned or mentioned on the internet .
You can decide whether to receive notices at the same time the name is read in a search result or to receive a weekly report of mentions (if one is very active on the internet he may prefer this option).
By clicking on the results links, you can check if and in which website your name or Email address appears on Google.
Potentially, if there is something you don't like, you can ask that site to remove that mention or request Google to remove the site or web page from the search results.
This ego on the web is another small step in Google's pursuit of the world of social netowrk where Facebook is the king.
The Google profile therefore becomes increasingly interactive and immersed in the search engine, thanks also to the function of the +1 button, also visible under this article, which should serve to personalize the searches made on the internet.
