i'm paranoid

me too... I just deleted all my personal info and told my boyfriend not to panic when he sees i'm now 'single' and while i was discussing it over the phone and mentioned the word 'government' I definitely heard a click seriously this new world order is shit.

Oh and since moving to England, I thought Ireland was a nanny state but HERE :shock: well I would get into it but i'd rather not discuss it online there are certain things that I will now only discuss face to face and far away from any salt or pepper shakers

Somehow it just strikes me as one more thing to keep up with. Maybe that's weird of me but at some point I have to draw the line on how much time I want to spend on the internet.

good point right there

if you are stupid enough to that much personal shit on the internet you deserve what you get

if you use it to keep in touch and get back in touch with people and post some silly pictures then there's no problem

Couldn't agree more.

Besides, it's an excellent tool for networking, which generates invaluable business contacts.

when you are looking for business contacts, is your shirt on? (on your avatar?)

Nope. I usually show up naked to the office, wearing nothing but bright yellow socks :P

I have a Facebook account, and I just have basic info on it.

If the government wants to know what bands I like or the fact that I like to run and go camping, then I'm not too worried.

When I got my new job, I made sure that I went back and took anything "incriminating" off,and made them private.

I've pretty much all but abandoned myspace. I just don't like it!

So you're saying that I should take my social security number and my manifesto on overthrowing the US Government off of my Facebook?

I saw this today too. I canceled my account.


as my bro puts it.


why build site that gathers information on individuals when you can have them do it for you?

Who gives a shit.

That bitch does have an annoying voice though. Yikes.

I don't do that or myspace.

me either. i have no desire to track people down or be tracked down and there are other - more private - ways to keep in touch with the people i actually do like to keep in touch with. :P

so no, never had any fun on facebook.

Yep...

i've been thinking about getting ride of mine... this link put me one step closer to closing my account.

I lost interest when they pulled out a flow chart of businesses I've never heard of. From what I understood, all they really do is sell stats of what movies you like.

Really, this is surprising to anyone? Anything you put on the Internet can be exploited. Posts on pearljam.com can technically be exploited by outside companies. After a while you might as well put on a tinfoil hat.

i have both, but keep them pretty low-key. just try to network w/ other musicians, friends & family a bit.

Doesn't bother me. Facebook gets your info out to everyone who wants it. We know this when we sign up.

It's no different that having google[bots] yahoo[bots] on this site. All of us can be tracked and located at anytime, no matter how smart we think we are being.

I'm totally gonna stalk you now and find 'incriminating' stuff!

I use both myspace and facebook. I'm more open on myspace (because I don't have my extended family or everyone I went to high school with as friends on there) but I'm still careful with what I put up there. You have to consider that the media is free to report on anything you post. How many times have you watched the news and they are reporting on someone who got arrested and their myspace page is on TV? I don't do anything crazy, and no one but and my friends are going to care about the pictures I took at Pearl Jam concerts.

I don't have a facebook - I don't want people all up in my business that much. I twitter though. Its kind of like blogging lite. 140 characters and less filling.
