Absolutely shocked!

Post by mrsj » Mon Mar 07, 2011 8:16 pm

when I Googled mrsj+everydaysystems. Every single one of my daily check in posts is on Google for everyone and their brother Joe to read! Along with my join date and where I'm from. How did this happen? My no shilly-shallying thread is also on Google.

I'll certainly be much more careful on what I post in the future.

Google indexes everything. There is no privacy anymore.

I immediately edited all my check-ins and the no shilly-shallying thread and removed my weight as I consider that very private. I don't want the world to know that I'm a hippo!

If you can read a message board without signing in (i.e. HERE), yes everything you write gets indexed by Google.

It goes further than that, though. Want a real freak out? Google your legal name.

But, honestly? Don't call yourself names. Seriously. You're too nice to deserve that nonsense.

I agree with Noel :)
No name calling... I am overweight but I'd never call myself a hippo or anything else derogatory. Be nice to yourself Mrs J :wink:

On the other hand, how many people really know who mrsj is?

OMG!!! I had no idea this happened! Even though the many people that use the No S website may have already read my posts, I suddenly feel very exposed.

OH WELL. What's done is done. And it certainly won't stop me from posting again. This place is way too helpful. :)

However, that will definately be in the back of my mind when I post in the future. :wink:

I don't think that posting here, and being truly honest is anything to be ashamed of.

Also, hippos are awesome! Ferocious fighting vegetarians, with adorable babies.

I googled my name. Apparently, I'm a writer, political consultant, MD, lawyer, and studying for the clergy according to my NY Times wedding announcement.

No wonder I'm tired.
