Isn’t this appropriate?
At the end of April, I read this article on Wired.com and emailed it to myself as a reminder to blog about it when I got the chance.
Basically, it discusses online identity and the fact that practically anything you can do with the Internet can be tracked. Think about anything you’ve posted or contributed. My own views on the world are all over the internet. Right now, if you google my name, this website is the third page. If you put quotes around my name, it jumps up to the second page.
I often wonder if I sometimes get confused with this guy. We both did/do computer stuff, glasses and dark hair. Could be quickly confused.
I once read an article saying that you have to be careful what you write, what you associate with your name, because anyone can use Google. It was mostly tailored towards job interviews and so on, so I’ve made a conscious effort to not discuss work as much. Although that had just as much to do with the fact that like Bryzgalov in my last post, the source of my pay cheque isn’t the most important thing in my life.
The reason why this is probably appropriate is today someone made the connection between my HF work and this weblog. I should have expected it eventually, but it did come as a bit of a shock.
