Keep your interwebz footprint as small as possible.

I don’t have a fb page under a real or assumed name.

I think people who use that (or the narcissistic Twitter) are nucking futz.

Good idea. Imagine some stranger asking for your name, the names of your family members and friends, what you do for a living, where you live, where you will be at different times and dates, your political likes and dislikes... You'd likely not give that info to that stranger so why give it to every stranger?

Even if you try to keep your internet footprint as small as possible, you may still have more of a presence than you realize.

I can find a website that has a list of every city I have lived in since the 80s or 90s. Rather than looking through my own records, I used Google to find information about myself for my CV. None of that information is anything I put onto the internet, ever.

I have a FB account, but aside from my name, it has no information on me other than my name, birthday, and email address. Only my name is viewable publically. I have 4 friends on it, and I have yet to actually use it.

If you’re using FR, it can be argued that you are not keeping the smallest internet footprint.
