In the days before the Internet, your personal / business reputation was something you could manage personally through your daily actions and interactions with other people. Today, the world is connected through the Internet, and your reputation can reach much farther than you can possibly reach on your own.
The Internet not only allows people to receive information about any topic that they want, but they are also able to contribute to this massive database. While this collaboration is one of the great features of being connected, it can also lead to numerous problems. People can say just about whatever they want, they can typically do so anonymously, and honesty is definitely not a requirement.
Your reputation is such a topic that is open to review and critique on the Internet, and it can be sullied greatly by just a few words posted online. From social media, to discussion forums, to the multitude of sites dedicated to the review of businesses, people can say whatever they want about your business.
