Was there a particular incident, or did you just decide to tighten things up? I've been re-evaluating how much of my personal information and open I am about things gets put on my journal. I'm trying to figure out where the line between public and friends-only is for me.
no particular incidents, just trying to tighten things up I guess. When you stop and think about it we put a whole lot of personal info on here. Not that that is a bad thing, but I guess there are some people out there I wouldn't want knowing this much about my life (maybe some gossip queens at work? LOL)
Well, just from your journal alone I know where you live. That's probably pretty creepy right there in and of itself. Closing off your journal because of work is actually a really good idea when you consider the ever increasing number of stories of employees fired because of weblogs. I think the most current one is an auto service in California that fired almost 30 people for harrassing their coworkers in the "privacy" of an online journal. It was in the Chronicle a couple days ago.
Security tip number 47: Write you blog entries as you normally would. Then, add several paragraphs before and after your entry. Make the paragraphs whiney and self deprecating (and a little self destructive for good measure). You can always just copy and paste paragraphs from the many scores of people who write such piteous entries on LJ. If your stalkers know what's good for them, they will avoid your post like the plague.
