"Remember what life was like before Facebook and Twitter and MySpace? When people got to know you through interactions and&amp;amp;#8212;dare I say it&amp;amp;#8212;phone calls instead of texts?! Lately, I feel like the people I meet are judging me more on my Internet personality than my real-life one. Would you rather give up sex or the Internet?? Most people could simply delete their social networking profile, sign out of AIM or unplug altogether and regroup. My career is on the Internet, so I don&amp;amp;#8217;t know what to do. Hear why Facebook scares blogger Jenny Feldman too! If you Google most people, not much comes up, but any guy who dares type my name into his search engine will get a whole cornucopia of articles and pictures. &amp;amp;#8220;Well I don&amp;amp;#8217;t know what you&amp;amp;#8217;re complaining about,&amp;amp;#8221; my friend shrugged, &amp;amp;#8220;Guys who ask you out can immediately get a feel for what you&amp;amp;#8217;re like before the date. It saves you time!&amp;amp;#8221; Time, I&amp;amp;#8217;ve got. But the chance to make a positive first impression doesn&amp;amp;#8217;t happen twice. And while I don&amp;amp;#8217;t exactly have a sex tape floating around the Web (promise!), I&amp;amp;#8217;d rather have a guy judge me on ME. Not on this article or that posting. Now I realize, this is a big shift from what I had said before, that a man darn sure better Google-stalk me before a date. Call me a fickle female, but I have officially changed my mind. Can&amp;#x27;t unplug? Don&amp;#x27;t stress--Fbook might actually be good for your health! Do you think Internet overload has hurt or helped your reputation? What do you wish you could remove from your Google results? How much do you judge a guy by his Facebook page? Get Glamour Wherever You Go!
