When I googled my full name and email accounts i found some were from twitter, bebo, and facebook. On my profiles i don't include any personal information. I mean, my 'friends' don't need to see that if they already know who i am! :)
A positive digital footprint includes when others can search for you and find out things about you. Don't post things on you're blog that you wouldn't want others to see. For example, don't put things up on the internet that you wouldn't want your parents to see. Things you have on the internet will haunt you for about 7 years. One bad thing you put on your blog, myspace or facebook could follow you for years to come.
I think that you should use a proper name and photo of yourself when you know that it is safe to. I wouldn't put my full name on myspace or facebook when my profile isn't private.
I think that our parents show us how to be 'internet savvy'. I think that your parents should be aware what you're posting on a website because if your going to post it, then why be afraid to show them?
