What are blogs, but online diaries? I’ve never been comfortable with the pressed-into-active-service trendy term “blog” but I guess it’s something we have to live with, along with terms along the lines of “P2P” or some other acronym of the day. I guess this is called “handing over to the next generation.” But fuck, I’m not dead yet, you little assholes.
However, it's kinda fun anyway to be able to type whatever the fuck you want and have a potential audience of twelve million, isn't it?
But putting your life out there for anyone — terrorists, child molesters, what have you — to read about . . . is that a Good Thing? I don’t have a MySpace or FaceBook page but it seems incredibly irresponsible to expose your personal details online, available to trillions of search engines.
Not to mention common sense.
Oh, and let me tell you that last.fm is absolutely ace.

Yeah, definitely not a good idea. I even struggled over whether to use my real name or not.
ReplyDeleteThere are just so many idiots out there: it's crazy. I'm surprised some maniac restaurateur hasn't waited patiently outside my building and clubbed me upside the head with a cosh, because they could probably find my address somehow by googling it.
ReplyDeleteYou really have to be careful what you post, as it's going to be searchable until way after you're six feet under.
God, don't even let me get into emails.
Dexter Gordon rules!
