<His online trail did him in,

I have a limited (real name, real job) online presence due to work. With effort, and if someone had access to my personal computers, they could probably find my aliases on different boards around the net, but in general, I don’t make a habit of putting my name and every movement out there online.

What I don’t understand is some people’s, mostly young people’s, need to be visible online all the time. I work in a university and the library computers always busy with kids updating their damn Facebook pages and chatting w/people, rather than using them for library work. Either they’re online w/Facebook, MySpace, or Twitter or they’ve got their phone glued to their head. They never seem to be able to be alone for a minute.

I don’t know why anyone wants to put out their every thought for others to read. I like my privacy & quite time too much I guess.

It's not just kids. My ex did it, and it was great for me in post-divorce legal stuff. She got hammered with her own words and postings. WOOHOO!!
