The Real Life effects of Blogging
I've found that activity on the Internet allows for a greater amount of freedom than real life, on certain levels... I've also found that the exception justifies the rule.
My father called me today, being rather surprised that my uncle had informed him about my new job. I guess one needs to call one's parents about important stuff one puts in one's blog... And one should consider what one is posting in general as well. I've withheld certain stuff I would have liked to write about due to possible future implications. I don't want to end up like the Blogger who got a night visit from the US Secret Service, nor do I wish to endager my job like the suspended blogging airline hostess I read about a while back.
Freedom of expression is a tricky thing. Knowing what to say is rather trivial compared to knowing when to shut up.
