    Parents really shouldn’t be posting videos of their kids on the interment. As someone who occasionally has to sort through applicants at work… yes, we do see these videos. We also see their baby photos and their graduation photos. If that creeps you out… it creeps me out, too.

      We all act like everyone else is a stranger and we’re alone in the “city” of the internet, but the actual dynamic plays out in a much more “townie” manner. We should act more like inhabitants of a small island where everyone knows each other.

        Having literally been an inhabitant of a small island at one point in my life is the exact reason I have no active social media presence that is not pseudonymous. Life is different when you know you might suddenly be recognized by a stranger at the grocery store who saw your public comment on Facebook.

      Speaking of work things… A friendly reminder from someone in corporate IT. We can see EVERYTHING you do on our network. So please don’t do anything you don’t want others seeing on your work network.
