Re: References to clients/colleagues/managers/companies in social networking discussions/posting

Chauncey,

So glad you brought this up, that was the first thing that came to
mind when I read the title this morning.

I completely agree with your stance. I prefer a non-destructive path,
personally. Although some people are okay with burning their bridges.

It's kind of a no-brainer for me. If it's on the internet, there's
a chance it will come back to me. If not, I'm naive at best, or
careless at worst.

Either way, it's bad manners, but it's a personal choice/approach
to life. And I respect that freedom over any enforcement of
etiquette. Live and let live.

Cheers,

Jason R.

My eye-opener was when I discovered that all of those 20th century
posts to netnews (over our high-speed 19.2 dial up UUNET connection)
were acquired by Google and indexed and made freely available.

People are very much oblivious to the idea that things posted online
are forever. How many websites have tried in vain to purge regretable
content**, only to see it dredged up (in the short term) in Google's
cache or (in the long term) by the Wayback machine?


** I was Stalinized by a former employer who at one time referred to
me (correctly) as a founder, and then later eliminated all traces of
that title, except for all of those cached press releases. Oops.
