О личных подробностях в блогах

Продолжая тему (в комментариях) детализации личной информации в блоге.

Благодаря Mazoo, прочитал статью “Stop Putting Personal Details in Your Blog“:

Remember–the personal details you dump into your blog, whether personal blog or business blog, could come back to haunt you. Don’t be paranoid or excessively self-censoring, but exercise some restraint and wisdom in what you reveal about yourself.

Или:

If I rave about a movie in which drugs are glamorized, would a professional person consider me a possible drug user?

Есть большая доля правды в том, что не всегда стоит выдавать много информации о себе, с первого взгляда кажущуюся безобидной. Кроме того, это не обязательно касается профессиональных или бизнес блогов. Личные дневники тоже представляют собой некоторую степень уязвимости:

Are you a mom? Do you have a blog? Do you talk about your children in your blog? Most moms probably do. Do you post photos of your children? Do you tell their ages? Do you describe the toys and movies and restaurants they like? Have you revealed what school or daycare center or church they attend?

Are you crazy? You’re giving child molesters and older males who prey on teenage girls exactly what they’re looking for. You’re practically handing your children over to them.

Этому, кстати, я знаю очень много примеров в русскоязычном ЖЖ.

A woman who used her blog to express political opinions also disclosed what restaurant she was going to check out one night. When she arrived at the restaurant, she was confronted by angry blog readers who disagreed with her politics and wanted to hurt or harass her.

You have no idea who is reading all your personal details, nor what they intend to do with that private information. The consequences could be far different from what you expect.

С тем, что персональные детали в принципе не имеют смысла в профессиональном блоге, я абсолютно согласен:

1.) Personal details are often interesting only to you. To others, these facts are usually boring, trivial, trite. They can make readers think less of you as a person.
(2.) Personal details are usually irrelevant to the main purpose of your blog, especially a business, marketing, academic, or other serious topic blog.

Ну, и естественный пунктик, до которого все могут додуматься сами - кража идентификационной информации:

(8.) Personal details can make you an easy target for identity theft.

You’re nice and normal. You may think the blogosphere is populated with decent, ordinary people. You can’t begin to fathom how evil, mentally sick, and horrible some blog readers can be.

Согласен с теми, кто скажет, что статья довольно параноидальна. Но это связано скорее с размером интернет-аудитории у “нас” и у “них”. Думаю нам еще предстоит начать заботиться об этом. Хотя, краски, конечно, сгущены чрезмерно.

Вот такой вот “Dark Side of the Blogging”.
