The Ink-Pot and the Palette

Yeah, I saw that development. And in fact I opted in. I'm reasonably confident that nobody else can search my gmail, but then, as said above, I'm kind of a Google fangirl.

It's quite possible that I've been over-persuaded by the arguments Jeff Jarvis makes in Public Parts and will regret my decision not to care about my personal privacy (or rather, to redefine it radically). Meanwhile, though, I'm finding it interesting to explore a more public presence online. It could be an age thing. Big Brother loses interest in people over 50. Especially women.
