Digital personal identity.
One can generate their own digital identity by participating
in the Internet : basically by contributing texts, images and videos to the
Internet, participating, in short, in the web world.
A well-managed and homogeneous digital identity with
analogue identity not only affects a more active life in all areas, but also
tends to consolidate a more solid social network outside the Internet. Even
today, and avoiding exaggerations, it is essential to develop professionally.
Digital identity can be configured in many ways and the same
person can have different identities using different tools or have only one.
Here is a series of free and accessible online tools,
through which anyone can create a digital identity:
1. Blogs.
2. Microblogs.
3. News
portals and websites.
4. Generic
or specialized social networking sites, such as Facebook or LinkedIn.
5. Texts,
photos or videos on the web, Google Docs, Picasa, Flickr, YouTube or Vimeo.
6. The
email.
