Steven let me in on a little tid bit of vital information. aparently, not only are colleges using online blogs as justification for rejection, but so are businesses, including, if I understood correctly, Baker. However, it would seem that they have no way of overriding the simple encryption that comes with a "friend's only" move. I guess all ( Read more... )

Wow, that's crazy.

I would say you make everything friends only.

I'm never going to get a job.

Yeah, it's not too cool at all. at least it's an easy fix.

I wouldn't worry too much. You don't use blogs to openly support a militant uprising, so you should be ok.

Hey side note, since I'm thinking about it, here's my email for anyone who doesn't have it.

It'd probably be a good idea to, y'know, give people your email address after that sentence.

Aaaand emailing you now, since you're not on AIM. I haveth an amusing anecdote from class today.

how would they know that it is your blog in the first place?

You don't have to disclose that sort of information when you're applying to a college or for a job.

mazerrackham001 September 16 2005, 00:18:27 UTC

your ISP can be attained if they have your SSN, which they will. ISP links us to here. That's my theory. But it's not important how it happens, only that we know that it happens.

ERIC:

of the 58498529084592084358243 students going to colleges, they are not going to give a shit about what you say on your blog. Yeah, Raul found out about it, but he doesn't count, bc most colleges are looking for people who aren't going to blend in with no opinions. Most want activists and opinionsts to say things to spice up their university. In fact, unless you have a WE SHOULD ALL BOMB MORE BUILDINGS IN AMERICA sign stapled to your forehead, they'll most likely a)hire you or b) admit you.

the end.
love, lauren

in actuality, perhaps I should screen that comment.

^ and that one too

mazerrackham001 September 16 2005, 01:27:37 UTC

haha, that isn't too far off, if it were read by someone who wasn't educated on the israel Palestine conflict. I write for FATAH and I've talked to people from Hezbollah. I know that neither are terrorist groups, and follow the rules of war as best as possible, but There are millions of people who won't see it that way. I'm paranoid, and Steven has seen blogs used against people in the business world and college. I'm just going to play it safe.
