It's odd when I do notice them and then I'm surprised :)<BR/><BR/>Ryan, you really think it's public? You don't mind Google giving out info a trials and stuff?<BR/>Wait a minute, I actually do know you don't just tell any info on the internet.<BR/>Oh, I just read your second comment - maybe you're better at aliases than me ;)<BR/><BR/>Deboarh, I fully agree and it really annoys me too especially on some stupid services that don't really need any of my info.<BR/><BR/>Carter, no worries. We all do that. Give out wrong info and aliases and it is funny to get spam with one alias or another.<BR/>Now, about trusting you, that's a different matter alltogether... ;)<BR/><BR/>Jennifer, I have about the same division of emails and all that. I guess we're not the only ones :)Mellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17461471128865537538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12725467.post-1141996867978622342006-03-10T08:21:00.000-05:002006-03-10T08:21:00.000-05:00I have three email accounts.

Yahoo, which again is my junk mail account (which I give no information to)<BR/><BR/>A private email which is a good email and miraculously recieves next to no spam at all.<BR/><BR/>And my own domain email (used mainly for my webpage and my blog).<BR/><BR/>I don't think I ever fill out personal information (if I'm required to it's never true...is that rotten and bad of me??). Not that I'm paranoid or mind tracking...but I if I can avoid it I do. <BR/><BR/>That said my blog is filled with plenty of personal information...but that kind of falls into a different category.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12725467.post-1141976157529793752006-03-10T02:35:00.000-05:002006-03-10T02:35:00.000-05:00Likewise Carter.

And it really annoys me when other people do it for me, in the case of e-cards, or those online address books and birthday reminder programs.<BR/><BR/>I don't mind targeted ads, I don't think I've ever clicked on any of them any way. I don't even see the ads in my google account, I honestly couldn't tell where they appear on the page unless i was looking at it. I just filter them out.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12725467.post-1141938929340628432006-03-09T16:15:00.000-05:002006-03-09T16:15:00.000-05:00I do mind being tracked and having to give persona...I do mind being tracked and having to give personal info to these services. I don't think that it has anything to do with age. With all of the identity theft going on these days, I'm very careful about the information that I give out.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12725467.post-1141933536332515372006-03-09T14:45:00.000-05:002006-03-09T14:45:00.000-05:00Eric, that's so funny.

It's exactly what they (the young ones) said.<BR/>But, again, that isn't my problem.<BR/>My problem is to put in personal information these services require such as meetings, tasks, address book etc. They offer you a place where you can access everything from emails to friends to appointments - all accessible from one place, and that's what I don't like (not the targeted ads which I usually ignore unless I actually shop for something online, which does happen).Mellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17461471128865537538noreply@blogger.com
