Another small piece of information forever remembered.
---
I'm playing a PC game called Virtual Families now. It's sorta like The Sims.
But the other day, the son made a baby with his mother. *Gasp*
The baby is called Mysti. And that reminded me of how in primary school, girls fancied naming themselves after their favourite character. I guess anyone would've done that. Boys included. But so far, I haven't come across any.
Misty from Pokemon. Kimberly, the pink ranger from Power Rangers. Who else? MmmMm.. Haven't come across anyone called Xena (the warrior princess) yet.
Good memories. I had so much time for TV then. Now, I don't watch it at all unless someone turns the TV on.

No matter how much I learn about privacy and the Internet, I still go on about like it's nothing much. I still blog about my personal life; I still archive stuff; I still sign up for websites for leisure or work.
Did you know that search engines like AOL and Google archive your search history? Accumulate all your searches and people can put a face to it even if given anonymity.
We think we know that privacy is important. But we don't really know how it is important.

"Did you know that search engines like AOL and Google archive your search history? Accumulate all your searches and people can put a face to it even if given anonymity."
Means what? They keep the history of the search keyword we typed and then...?then i dont get it already
Hwey: Who is tyrone wells???
Cathy: If you read the article on AOL, you'd understand. Basically, search engines keeps a history of the searches people make. And there was one case where AOL released a record of searches made by users. AOL gave users anonymity by naming them user no.4145345, etc. But people found out who one particular user was by the searches she made.
That means, I don't have to put a name to the searches one makes, I also can find out who it is.
