I feel so dirty...

So in the wee hours of the morning, last night I caved on a long-standing principle and actually registered on a single social notworking(sic) site. No, it's not one of the biggies, so spare me the "friending" requests.

It'll probably be an interesting and (I hope) useful tool, but my initial impression after digging a little deeper than I really needed to do was simply, "what a cesspool."

During the slack moments at work today I'll try to come up with what to say on my profile -- or perhaps more pointedly, how much to say. I've always been rather careful about what I put online, especially in the hands of third parties, but in the case of social notworking sites, other people can put stuff up about you too, and you have no control over that at all.

Anyway. We'll see what happens, eh?
