Consciousness -> Internets

Browsing Posts published on February 9, 2010

On my Internet privacy binge, I’ve come across something interesting called Google Dashboard. Logging into this will reveal to you what information under your Google account is kept, and where! Interesting to see the results.

There is also a section which shows everything you’ve searched for on Google, with dates and times… I suggest to turn this ‘feature’ off by pausing web history! Be aware though, that none of this will apply to you if you don’t have a Google account, or surf the internet with your Google account logged in!

I knew it’d happen sometime, so I guess now is the time. Facebook was exciting to get in touch with friends you lost over the years, but there is a point where it turns into a privacy concern. MySpace as well, totally toasted !!! I may as well blast all my tweets and start afresh too! Also a note with the twitter thing, if you have one it’s best set to private I say. I found some sites on google that collate and cache your tweets and put them on their own site. Rather rude considering the Twitter user agreement claims all tweets belong to the author.

What Facebook doesn’t seem to publicise too much is the fact you can delete your account, and remove everything on there. Surely that beats the deactivation if you want to leave the thing for good. Check out this URL for more info http://www.facebook.com/help/contact.php?show_form=delete_account !

The only other social network / thing I can think of that I am still apart of is the Deviant Art. But I never check that, or go there… and personally I’d rather have that preserved as internet (embarrassing too) memories! Oh god how annoying I was !!! (And probably still am LOL). So to recap, totally destroying my internet identity as an attempt to regain control over what Google (and anyone looking) knows about me.

In other news, I am really getting involved with 3D Game Development for a Uni project, as well as working on some side project(s). Stay tuned!
