How expose are you online?!

[Papewaio]

I was going to post a thread about the inter-racial relation here, but this morning, I just happened to see something on other websites, and it made me thought about posting this topic.

Would you post your private life online? And if you do? How expose would you be? The reason that I ask guys here is because I came across with a women posted her private life(her kids, her life with a rich husband, their sex life, her shopping spree...balabalabala...yeah~)if you have a partner like that, would you be ok with her posting things about your life online?

Babywaio needs attention now, be back later...

What, we don't deserve the link to her blog? I mean, how can we have an informed discussion unless we read about her sex life? Um, I mean, rich husband ...

As for the lady in question, she's in good company. There's a phenom here of people being absolutely exposed online, and hundreds of thousands of people seem to be doing it. I wouldn't write it all down for public consumption, personally, but I think it's a really interesting turn of events. We don't even know yet what the ramifications will be.

One of my favorite web sites, Ars Technica, is co-hosted by a guy who was turned down for a Ph.D. program because the admission committee read his blog. Interesting times.

wasabi, don't be coy, give us this link to where you post all of your personal info. inquiring minds would like to know!

LOL, I think it's interesting times as well. It's the first time so many people of all sorts have gotten online and are showing themselves. I still think it's safer then doing anything like you do online, on the streets, but still. If you want something to be kept private, try to supress the need to type it all out.

It's the details I don't include. Things like specific places, numbers, and all that. I'm okay with telling a story, however odd or personal. I do the same in person.

Nothing much on my blog(which is at a website called BabyHome), only heaps of photos of Babywaio and daily silly things he does with me...

Her blog happens to be in Chinese...so~

[Soulforged]

Personally I'll never do that, but then that's just a personal desicion.

[solypsist]

don't do it. especially on a gaming board. it's cause for regret.

It requires a level of confidence...or should I say reliance? (Early morning brain doesn't produce accurate English.) No matter online or offline. There are always things that I keep to myself.

But an online community accessible by virtually anyone almost means the most crowded square of the largest city, or prime time on the most watched TV channel. So, I do restrict a lot. How many people on the ORG know my real name --the EB community, to which I submitted a light resumé, aside-- for instance?

Personal stories, likes/dislikes - yes - but nothing that would be really personal.

Photos: Only of myself from time to time - no photos of family members or friends

No details like address, e-mail address, employer.

The problem is : Who would care about my life ?

*Pretty interesting though.. Watching the forum literally.. Kinda weird.. Hmm..

... Would you post your private life online? And if you do? How expose would you be? ... (Posted by wasabi)

I share bits and pieces in context with topics, and discuss aspects of my private life with people I've come to know online but have never met, whom I trust to be discreet and who share in kind. I would not post a day-to-day "blog" kinda thing. I've never read one either, as they don't interest me for some reason (odd, as I thoroughly enjoy people-watching, both in the "real" world and online at places like this).

Ya never know when extreme circumstances might kick in and a "higher law" necessarily supercedes the laws of the land, resulting in unlawful action. The last thing I want in such a circumstance is for big-brother to have a lot of detailed day-to-day data about me. Hmm ... then again, it might be fun to misdirect and slow them down a bit ... Bah, that would be a waste of time--they probably already know how many hairs I have on my um .. chin at any given moment (just remembering this is Wasabi asking, not Papewaio).

No, if my significant other were to divulge anything personal about me online without my express permission, it would result in a very lengthy session with my studded double-wide ... .
