Google earlier today announced the unveiling of the latest devices under its Nexus range: the Nexus 4, the Nexus 7 (with 3G) and the Nexus 10.

An event slated for today to make the announcement was cancelled due to Hurricane Sandy but this did not stop Google from unveiling the devices through a blog post today.

In 2006 three young American dudes had a “daylong brainstorming session” and came up with the idea for Twitter. The reason they called it Twitter was because it means “a short burst of inconsequential information” and “chirps from birds”.

Six years on and Twitter is booming. 140 million of us send approximately 340 million tweets per day.

Not all tweets are inconsequential. It’s true that you can watch and participate in conversations with rock stars, sports stars and film stars. However, Twitter is not just a place for celebrities to air details of their exciting lives or talking about what they had for breakfast.

No matter how many steps you take to build up and protect your image on the internet, there may come a time that it gets attacked. When your online reputation has been damaged by negative information, you’ll need to act immediately to repair it and prevent it from becoming a long-lasting problem. You have a couple of options for damage control.

Identify the Source

Before you can do any reputation repair, you need to figure out where the negative information or attacks are coming from. Use the major search engines and social networks to see what is coming up in search results for your name. The sources will probably show up on the first 2 pages in Google, but you should also use a Twitter search or a tool like Social Mention to see where you are showing up in the social networks.
