Digital reputation - Definition and Overview

Related Words: Authority, Celebrity, Character, Credit, Dignity, Eminence, Esteem, Fame, Figure, Glory, Honor, Kudos, Name, Notability, Popularity, Position, Prestige, Prominence

Similar to the conventional concept of reputation, but achieved while in a pseudonymous state.  A digital reputation can be useful in situations where credibility must be established, but exposure of one's real life identity is undesireable or possibly hazardous.  A good example of this is in the novel Ender's Game, in which Peter and Valentine utilize their pseudonymity to great effect on the most influential political discussion forums, despite their youth.
