Your digital identity is the face that you have on the internet. This is the person you paint for your self on the internet. This is from your bank account to your MySpace account or online gamer tag. It’s who your are in the digital world. You should always manage your digital identity so you remember what you make accounts on and where you put out your information.

It says that Facebook can track you to other websites even after you log out and they can gather enough information to know about you. I think it’s wrong. It’s too easy for people to find you online. I think that it’s weird and wrong that they have this beacon thing that can track you continuously and it should stop. I mean, who needs all that information on you?

There are ways to protect your self online. This article suggests that there 5 ways to protect your identity online. It says that you should never trust any website, don’t use internet explorer, use a temporary credit card number, use an anoyminizer, and don’t use Google.
There related because Face book can track you down. The other article is talking about how not to lose your identity. Face book is warning you about how easy it is. So theses relate because there both warning you about how easy it is. The second article is telling you how to protect yourself. The first article is telling you its happening. They together prepare you for what you need to do.
On the other hand, when you play a video game online, use an online account for your Xbox, or anything else like that, it would be good to do this because you can play the video game and have fun. Here, it’s ok to do that, but you would still have to be carful and like the same for high scores and other things. Now, people could argue that video games are bad for you in general, without adding the risk that you could loss your identity by playing or logging in online.

Finally, I think that you should always be carful with your identity but still it’s not like with a video game or something like that. You should never put more information out about yourself than you have too. In conclusion, it’s becoming a lot more easy to track you and I think that we should try to minimize it.
