Additionally, the initial post includes tone and words that do not reflect the opinion or mission of MVP. We are about helping student-athletes proactively protect their reputations and athletic departments project a positive image. YouDiligence(TM) can be an effective tool to assist with both in the new media era. We welcome further open discussion and debate about this topic.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9725220.post-7763640665379445202008-01-25T09:21:00.000-05:002008-01-25T09:21:00.000-05:00We would like to clarify that the person who wrote...We would like to clarify that the person who wrote this post is not part of the company that built, owns and operates YouDiligence(TM) . The opinions of the person expressed while in spirit do match an important part of the mission ( efficient reputation management) -the tone and words used in no way reflect the opinions of GlobalNI Inc. The fact is that people who conduct themselves in certain ways in public are with or without YouDiligence(TM) risking personal and professional consequences- the technology is neutral and defensive not invasive. Additionally there is much false information posted about high exposure individuals and Youdiligence(TM) is also designed to give people situational awareness and empower them to manage exposure that may harm their personal or professional interests. Athletes are not the only people who are exposed. Like any powerful tool much depends on the judgment of the person using it. This debate is necessary and will contribute to the proper use of technology.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9725220.post-41407076206898854872008-01-24T15:07:00.000-05:002008-01-24T15:07:00.000-05:00I am connected to YouDiligence.

We are talking about PUBLIC forums. <BR/><BR/>First off, YD does not go behind SN firewalls, or try to break into private networks. In essence, users are rewarded for establishing their profiles as private.<BR/><BR/>Second, let me ask you a question. If a student goes running though the halls screaming "Let's kill all the kikes and niggers", is it censorship to take this student aside and have a discussion with them? I believe it is educators' duty to confront this student. <BR/><BR/>Now let's consider that the student is screaming these words in Chinese. It should not change the need to have a discussion with this student. All YD does is give educators the power to understand within the public forum, the world of the web. In the case of Chinese student, opaqueness comes from the language. With the web, it is the sheer amount of data out there that creates the opaqueness. <BR/><BR/>Lastly, it is the University's interests that are being served. Over time, a University's reputation and endowment will be much better served by good respectful citizens than by inappropriate, rascist assholes. If users are revealing themselves as such within public spaces, why shouldn't a University have the right to say "we do not want to be associated with a person who behaves as such"?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
