"Googleable"

In Will Richardson's article, "Footprints in the Digital Age", Richardson talks about how it is good to be "googleable" and how many young kids are on the computer alot. What exactly does it mean to  be "googleable"? What I got out of Richardson's article was that being "googleable" meant that when your name is searched on google, links will come up that have something to do with you. When the ten year old girl was mentioned in the article about how she has her own blog about doing a good deed for 25 days and how many other people has subscribed to it really amazed me. I just learned how to do a blog this year. Richardson says that being findable on Google is a good thing. Many people from all over who have the same interests as you can search you and find out alot about you that many people may not know. Yes, i do think that having web links and pictures of you on the web is really cool but its not very safe. Being "googleable" is actually really dangerous. Before i started this blog I googled myself and many things came up. Articles about me being on swim team and articles about soccer came up for me. I think that is kinda weird how my personal info can come up for anyone who types "Taryn Pilkington" into the search box for google. All in all , the this public info on the web we call "footprints" can make you known or ruin you life because of predators.
