The Wonders Of The Web

A friend of mine told me about someone they had met. Not knowing his other friends, my friend had a slight level of discomfort in being "in the dark" about this person. So what do we do? We "Google" him :)

Amazingly, the top hit led straight to his blog (what else?). Only after a few searches, and I was already looking at photos from his trips etc etc. The even ruder shock was seeing a photo of myself in one of those sets of pictures!

Yes, it is a small world :)

So the lesson here, boys and girls, is to always be aware that everything is public on the Net. I remember Bec reading some of the older, more quality posts before she went out with me. Lucky I didn't write up all my hoey stories!

Damn! four cheap calls already:

i'd be careful how you use the word Google if i were you :) article here

Oh but it was exactly your hoeyness that oh-so-attracted me in the first place JB! Nowadays you just want to snooze all the time *sigh*

I think that with all my dirt on the web I'm going to have to marry a girl who can't speak English. Or Japanese - people have written stuff about me online in Japanese, too.
