Speaking of Privacy. Google Image Search.
Did you know that you can save an image- and upload it to search for it's source?http://www.geek.com/articles/news/google-image-search-update-lets-you-upload-an-image-and-find-its-source-20110615/
So basically that means if you don't want to tell people exactly where you are getting married- but then you upload a picture of your venue on here from their website....I can save that image- throw it into google and figure out where you are getting married?
I'm not sure if it works with avatars (i.e. bringing people back to a facebook page, maybe?)
Just an FYI

Edit - I guess my avatar pic hasn't updated yet, but hopefully it will soon.
Haha...me too!
If you google any of our SN into google and look at images you can see things we've posted and inserted into thread on TK posts.
So I did it with one of my avatars...and it's such a trip...it could pinpoint my location!
And pulled pictures of people in the same exact spot. However...it didn't pull my FB page.

<div>Holy crap... that disturbs me.</div>
Still here and still fabulous!
ETA: those pictures are deleted but they are forever searchable. It also brings up a bunch of stuff on you guys linked to my sn.
And I feel you rdr. LAME!
Remember when someone managed to send Candi's wedding dress to her FI?
Well- I was new and didn't care to do it- nor would I ever...
But I wondered if I could figure it out. I found her on FB linked to someone else's FB- put her name into some wedding registries...her name came up with her FI's...Googled the FI- Work e-mail was there. Bam. Easy.
I don't mean to freak people out, but I suppose if people are worried about their safety and security...they should probably know this stuff, right?
Apparently I'm being ignored by people. This makes me sad

<div>Haha! That pic is hilarious. Totally can of worms b/c now I'm curious just how many people I can find! Totally not a great use of my afternoon. I need to go to the gym instead. And don't feel bad, Lunar for looking up Cate. I didn't do it either. I was new when that whole e-mail fiasco went down, but I totes found her through pinterest and found her FB as well. It's really not that hard, even if your privacy settings are all locked and tight, one of your friend's profiles might not be and it's easy peasy to at the very least get someone's first and last name. </div><div>
</div><div>That being said, again, I think it's just the age we live in. Even if someone quit the internet right this second, they'd have a virtual footprint. I'm of the mind that if you use common sense, you will be safe 99 times out of 100. Does that mean strangers might know your name? yes. But I'm not sure you can hide from that at this point. </div>
[QUOTE]Oh, I found my stuff. <strong>Apparently I'm being ignored by people.</strong> This makes me sad :( I wanna know who hates me.

What??
I guess one of the reasons I'm not too worried about it is that I could just as easily meet a crazy person IRL....they could follow me home from the grocery store (which I have had happen...he grabbed my butt! And the police were so darn slow in that town- they let him get away).
I just don't want to live my life in constant worry. There are too many things to worry about.

On like page 10 when you google "peekaboo2011" there's a post "@lunar and other wine lovers". And the google description reads "this post is hidden because you're ignoring peekaboo2011"

I think it's just wonky Google/TK...I've seen that on a lot of posts that I've googled.
