Privacy? What Privacy?





I just learned about an online phone book where individuals can learn (snoop) into your private information. It's called spokeo.com, and it gives me the creeps. For less than $3.00 a month, nosy "people" can see a picture of your house, learn your age, how many people live in your house, discover your credit score, etc. It even keeps track of your activities on Blogger. I found pictures of clients' pets I have stored on Photo Bucket. Maybe it's only me, but I find this obnoxious. You can remove your name by clicking on "privacy" at the bottom of the page and following the instructions. I know personal searches can be done online, but this is just too much.

Well, I wouldn't get too riled up. Much of the info on me is incorrect, like I am hispanic! My last name is Italian.....and that is my husbands name.......the income, houseing numbers are WAY off......

Still, this feels very invasive.

Some of the information about me is all wrong too. For example, who is that girl in the pictures? She certainly not me. Her hair is darker, and she's WAY younger. I still think this is obnoxious though. The information age is out of control.
