I wasn't happy about the idea, but two years later I've become more wary about my privacy and now I understand. The funny thing is, I've had some people speculate about my offline life, especially with regards to relationships. It's strange and funny, the stories they've come up with. I miss personal blogging--the blogging I do for close friends and family--but I don't see myself going back anymore. Maintaining a professional blog and an arts and culture site plus my freelance career and day job is a handful already. :)</p> I closed down a personal blog two years ago because an arts and culture site I wrote for recommended that I do.

This was before the rise of social networking. I learned how people can easily exploit information to harrass or steal your identity. I'm now not at all comfortable with the "transparency" and lack of privacy online. Yet I work online every day.</p> I dealt with an online stalker/hacker ex who made my life hell for a couple of years. This was before the rise of social networking.
