Google, facebook, cell phone carriers, they all want to do away with what most people love about the internet. PRIVACY. Facebook just dropped the privacy features so anybody can search on you like it or not. Fortunately I never had much of a presence on FB so i don't care. But people who want to be there and don't want certain people to find them are shit out of luck. Google is just looking to increase their stock value by being able to target market a few billion more people that don't want to be marketed to. Awards

At the time I was mostly sick of the FB drama, but now I'm mostly glad I did because of how much information about yourself you end up putting on there. The only social site I use is this forum and g+. I only use g+ as a sort of tech blog to share/read articles and stuff with friends. I also have a blog that I've been posting my personal tech projects to that I can reference in my Resume. It's completely non-personal and is a great way to get people reading your Resume to look at some really cool stuff.

This is why only a few places that have internet sites have my real data. All business related. Certainly nothing like Facebook, which I dont have anyways. If they want Joe Schmoe, who was born in 1910 and lives in Alaska, to advertise some product then go ahead. eidolonFIRE 1 Awards
