Is being Findable and Known on the Internet a good thing? It is when your a business person looking for more consumers to buy your product. There will always be a down side as well though. In being known people will also know of flaws that you have in your product or even personality. With this in mind just as many bad things can happen as good things. Therefore being known needs to be limited or it can become a bad thing.
Passive digital footprints can be store and contain data such as your IP address. This data can be accessed offline by administrators to view the actions performed on the machine, without being able to see who performed them.
Active digital footprints can also be stored by a user being logged into a site when making a post or edit. You can use a keylogger, to show actions performed on the machine, and who performed them.
PS: sorry this was late I had both my nieces this weekend and i didn't read your entire post Aimeep. Sorry about that I'll be more observant in the future.
I think Its a good thing to be known on the internet as long as its not for anything bad. Like being known for rapping about a mattress store!
