jon udell, bernhard seefeld mention how the notion of practical obscurity is going away.
switzerland’s core competence is discretion very much stands at odds with search engines and blogs. i wonder if blogs will become popular here when i see so many people assuming that they can put something online somewhere “obscure” and not be found. one friend was horrified to find her land ownership records online, another was less than thrilled when his mother entered his name into google and drunken pics of him showed up. when i met someone online recently, i hesitated to tell even my first name, since that would have been enough to give me away.
too much fun, and it will get much worse.
