egonetics, n. (ego+net+ics)
weaving a network of self-references, increasing one'
s presence on the internet.
Egonetics is different from "ego surfing" - a search of one'
s own
name on the internet (using search engines). Egonetics
is an active electronic dispersal of your
name, making
links to your homepage, entering various interactive sites and
open forums. It can be done for the sake of an idea or a commercial promotion, but in absence of ideological
or professional motifs, this is a narcissistic case of egonetics.
