I always warn my friends and family about blogging and video blogging (on youtube) personal views.Anyone can access that information. Including potential employers. What people don't understand is that even if the information is deleted, it will exist on back-up tapes for as long as whomever owns the tapes feels like it.
Some day there will be a google our children can use to dig up old private info.
