Social network users have ruined their privacy, forever.

Social networking users need to take a step back and think about just what
they're posting onto the Internet. It'll probably be too late for a number of
people, and it'll take a lot more 'victims' of the lack of privacy before most
users actually start heeding these warnings. Just beware that anything posted
online to your friends now, could very easily come back to haunt you in days,
months, or even years to come.

A neighbor of mine wanted to learn HTML so she could personalize her MySpace account with pictures of her kids. Hmm. I told her I thought it - posting pictures of her kids - was a bad idea. Paranoid? Probably. Sage advise? I think so. Whatever. She'll do what she wants.

">I want to learn HTML! Grr!

What bothered me more was that she didn't really seem interested in learning some rudimentary HTML tags. I was snubbed, man. I guess I am a lot more boring than I realize, 'cause even my wife rolled her eyes at her, as if to say, "Don't get him started." Oh well. Technological heathens can stare into their fires, while I recline in my technological leather La-Z-Boy watching hi-def movies.

Of course, this pseudonymed blog is kind of a public thang, too...
