So I've decided to change my posting name. They say it's a good idea to professionally "google" your name every now and then to see what is out there about you. Of course, everything out there about me is library stuff and this blog, but it occurred to me how easy it would be to say a little something "harmless" in a blog and having it bite you in the **** at another time.
Then there's the other side of this... There was a time when posting pictures and personal anecdotes on the web was innocent and fun. Then the predators got online, and now even the most innocent and benign information can be used against us.
I recently went to a session about internet safety for kids and they "demonstrated" how, with perseverance and the tiniest bit of personal information, a predator can find out everything he needs to find a teenager and loves to blog and post to other sites. Scary!
Not that a predator would be after me, but you never know how your information can lead to your kids. Just another soapbox edition....
Carry on.
