Have you ever done a search for yourself on the internet? I do it occasionally, as I’m sure some of you do, and sometimes I am surprised at the results I get. A site will appear in the list that I haven’t been to in years, but there is a comment that I made 10 years ago, still there! We leave such a trail or footprint on the internet, and for the most part, I don’t worry about it, but now I have a friend going through a terrible ordeal, and it’s made me rethink what I put out there.
So, I just a search of my maiden name, email address, married name, and Meadows Ling. I get the most results when I use MeadowsLing (one word), but you actually find out the least amount of personal information on me.
So, I’m just wondering, do you censor how much information you put on the internet about yourself? Do you worry about someone stealing your identity, or worse?
