There's one hit on the first page: a blog I set up three and a half years ago as a portfolio of my work from Sheridan College. There is one hit on the second page, and it's this blog. Seven pages in is an article I wrote for my church in 2007 that I don't remember doing, and another blog that I set up post-Sheridan. I gave up after page 15.
Spezify yielded no relevant results.
And I'm okay with this.
I realize that with having a Facebook account, a Twitter account (now) and a blog, that I am publishing things for the public. Yeah, there are privacy settings (which I typically crank up) but things posted on the internet:
a) are put there with the fact that it's possible that everyone can see; and
b) it stays there.
So I shape my footprint by limiting my footprint.
I'm a private guy, and I do minimal sharing on a personal level with close friends, much less mass-informing mild acquaintances and strangers. But that's just me, and I fully appreciate others' needs to share themselves. There is a line that people cross, in my opinion, where lovingly sharing turns into attention grabbing. I keep myself back from that.
