It's not about paranoia, it's about choosing what you want to reveal about yourself, stalkers or no stalkers. Not everyone's like you, Hadron.
I hide enough about myself already - I cannot afford to hide more. Lets just say I have made the mistake of having an obsession I cannot talk about.

Which is fine and well, and your choice. Just don't assume you know why others choose to be more private than you.

Argh you are one of those people that tells a little bit of the story and no more.

I haven't got a Facebook account. My real name isn't anywhere on the internet. I guess that is one of the reasons why I am ok about posting about myself here.

I've started posting more about myself in relation to my name. Given the field of work I'm going into, my name will end up on the net in relation to my work. I just need to make sure that the personal details I don't want associated with my name stays separate from it.

I find Facebook confusing and overwhelming; there are too many things trying to catch my attention when I go there, so I avoid it simply from a user-interface point of view.

I don't have it set to high security, but then thankfully I also have an extremely common name, like Jane Smith. So if anyone's wanting to find me specifically, they'll have to hunt through all the other same names as mine.  8)

I'm not particularly active either. I use it more to keep up with a small handful of friends. And I only have people on my friends list who I know (either good online friends or people irl).

Main thing is never post on FB something you wouldn't want your employer (current or future) to know about you.
I have the common name thing in my favor and uber-security.  In general I try to keep my facebook pretty much OK for employers to see, though every now and again I go through and panic and purge.  I'm pretty active on FB.

You win this thread because that's most unsettling to even think about.

So you haven't left any hints on I2 or anywhere else - I guess that is the main risk of trouble from it...

My last name is pretty uncommon, that's why I have my profile set to private.


I figure, if you google someone's name, something is going to come up. I'd rather have the say as far as what comes up on the first page.
