Is private...rank?

Well, if you are in some from of army this may be in fact a true statement. Or perhaps you were a sometime PVP enthusiast in World of Warcraft some time ago and are quite proud of your obsolete rank. Or it may be the view of a certain CEO of facebook, and privacy just...smells.

but what kind of olfactory sensation are you on the receiving end of? The perfumed scents of the wide open Savannah of information that has been opened to you, or the brackish pungency of steel capped boots storming through your seemingly invincible invisible internal Internet walls of firewalls to expose your small time information sharing racket. so is it going to be hard times ahead?

Well, if you have a read of this little article you mind may be soothed by its information lozenge like qualities. If not, you may have some sort of allergic reaction to this one.

For me, I've always upheld the opinion that if I don't want information about me on the Internet, I won't post information I don't want out there. As for what others post about me, its up there with what others say about me. And I'm pretty happy with my stance on that. So how are you coping with change? For me its been a few weeks, and it really hasn't changed my Internet habits in the slightest, so I won't be in the habit of slighting it. However, it is always a good idea to asses what it is you are doing, how it is being sent and received, and how you feel about that. I wonder how this is affecting library pages...Anyway, I'm sure if Gene Roddenberry was alive he would agree that this is getting us closer to humanity forging forward, or putting me one step closer to seeing Star Trek come to life.
