Additional ConsiderationsAdditional Considerations

54

• Consider how people will find you- use your real name– Be you– Use location enabled

• Consider using the same username within all applications– Makes it easier to be found

• Consider using the same photo• You will encounter a number of apps built on top of the tools

try them out if you want too. Exploring is good…• You will need to decide how often or little you use the tools

– Being aware of the tools is a good start
