Or Not

Forgive me for this, because it is really creepy but I feel the need to share.

So two weeks ago I wrote about how teens are protecting their privacy online, right? Well, hahaha.

I was reading the Washington Post online at work today and came across a nice article about military blogging from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Very well written article about how soldiers blogging helps relieve a little of the stress of war and about the military's fight to control that release of information. So I was just going to write about that tonight. Then I saw this article, also about military blogging, where it mentioned that the author of the first article, Nikki Schwab, was an AU grad student. Of course, I went to facebook and... her profile was open access. So I can see all 292 photos of her, date of birth, hometown, where she went to undergrad, that she supports Hillary Clinton for President in 2008, and her cell phone number and home address, complete with apartment number!

I'm not going to post that information here, because this is slightly more open than Facebook but is she serious?! So lets say someone didn't like her recent article... bam, great stuff for bad people there. Come on Nikki, limit at least some of that information!
