Internet footprint

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

An Internet footprint is the impact an individual, business, organisation or corporation has on the world-wide web and, practicably, the traceable residue that it leaves behind through this interaction.

Internet footprints are starting to be used as to supplement interviews by some “to research potential employees by examining what they find on the Internet.” (http://wdsc.wordpress.com/2007/05/03/implications-of-your-internet-footprint/)
