Are we revealing TOO much on blogs?

The other night we watched "Untraceable" with Diane Lane. It's a thriller about cyber crimes, surrounding one sicko who abducts and kills people while streaming the murder live online. I won't give it away but the movie touches on the fact that people are "amused" at someone else's expense, and how the internet propels the rate at which nasty things can spread online.

My husband, who is in the IT industry, predicts that in the future, law enforcement units surrounding cyber crime will expand, of course, correlating to the increase of the crime itself. Thank for the input, B. As much as the internet has made our lives easier and accessible to all kinds of things...it has upped the creativity of those rogue few.

Then there's blogs. Sometimes I'm scared of how much information about our personal lives we share on our blogs. I'm aware that most of our identities are anonymous and we change the names, or at least provide only initials, for the people we talk about...there are still ways strangers can find out about us. We leave virtual footprints and records EVERYWHERE. How many networks, social media sites have you joined...maybe you're not aware of the places you're mentioned. GOOGLE YOURSELF.

This last summer, I saw a piece on the news about some pedophile freak who has a blog or website or something, where he tells other assholes like himself where to find children....and PRETTY children, no less. This just turns the pit of my stomach and makes me want to pull out his COJONES Sin City style. I suppose they did a check on him and he's never acted on his urges...but he F$%&Kin goes around town and LOOKS.........God I can't even continue. Who's to STOP him when he does act on it.

Not only blogs are a great outlet for us normal people...it's a way for those ROGUE humanoids to advertise, or even encourage to others their devious actions. Now that I have a child, my ears and eyes are so alert, that I feel like a pitbull ready to strike at whoever that even THINKS about getting too close to my child. Just be careful and always use an alias. What are your thoughts on this, I would love to hear more input!
