There is no privacy on the internet. unless you ask nicely (scary website is scary)

If you have not seen this site, you may want to check it out. It lists an ass-load of information on a lot of people, supposedly aggregated from social networking sites they're on. All I know is that I entered my name and it gave my street address (along with incorrectly reporting that I was married and had kids).

Anyway, here's the site: www.spokeo.com/

And the link if you find your info and want it gone: www.spokeo.com/privacy

This unsettles and annoys me but is hardly surprising in this day and age. On the upside, the site makes it very easy to remove your info. I took down my info and the info on my mother in about five seconds and it does appear to be gone already.

wtf?, head!desk, strange days, in the news
