Americans Googling Themselves More

[HardOCP News]

According to a new study, twice as many Americans have Googled themselves compared to five years ago. This study used data from telephone and online surveys, as well input from experts in the field of “privacy.” Have you Googled yourself lately?

Internet users are becoming more aware of their digital footprint; 47% have searched for information about themselves online, up from just 22% five years ago. However, few monitor their online presence with great regularity. Just 3% of self-searchers report that they make a regular habit of it and 74% have checked up on their digital footprints only once or twice.
