In Depth: Managing your information and reputation online

Following the growth of electronic privacy concerns related to hacking and social media, CNN is featuring an "In Depth: End of Privacy" series all this week.

Mario Armstrong, host of SiriusXm's "Mario Armstrong's Digital Spin," joins Ali Velshi today on American Morning to explain how you can better manage your personal information and your reputation online.

In Mario's segment, he explained how you can change your privacy settings on Facebook to hide sensitive information from the public. In the segment, he showed how to change the most important settings, including:

1. Disable the "Include me in 'People here now' after I check in" feature
2. Disable "Friends can check me into places" feature
3. Change the setting next to your phone number to "Only me" – friends should not automatically be able to see it.
4. Disable "Suggest photos of me to friends" feature – the facial auto-recognition feature

Mario also explained how important it is to have a conversation with friends and family about your privacy concerns.

He also explained how you can see what is out on the web in terms of your "online reputation," or what others think of you. He suggested doing a search of your name on Spokeo.com, to see what kind of details are available on the web about you. He also talked about the new crop of sites that offer services to better manage your online life, such as Reputation.com.
