The Internet’s Golden Rule
Remember when you could hide that naughty Polaroid of your hunny-bunny in the back of a closet with all the dirty notes and ball gags, and it would stay hidden until you deemed necessary? Me neither, because I'm not into ball gags (on Amazon.com, really?!), but the point is - in today's wired world, it's very hard to keep anything secret; usually, once you hit 'enter', it's out there for the world to see. I was reminded of this the other day when a normal and totally unscandalous tweet that I had sent via Twitter (see Greg To Twitter at right) ended up on one of my e-friend's web pages. It served to remind me of the golden rule of the internet: act as if everything you type, tweet or create will be seen by the one person you don't want to see it.
