Week 2 - Online Privacy

I tend to be very nervous about sharing personal info on the net. There's all of the identity theft stuff to worry about, but it's also important to remember that the Internet has become this massive gossip monster. I have friends that get very involved in the drama (on LiveJournal, MySpace, Twitter, Blogger etc.), but I try to stay well clear of it. It's bad enough to have friends find out things you don't want them to know--it can be embarrassing--but having an employer see something inappropriate can get you canned. So I think an abundance of caution is always a good idea.
