Comment A months worth of Twitter Updates? (Score 1) 165

I want a service that can post a month's worth of twitter updates..... August 16, 2009 12:02PM - Marilyn Monroe just hit on me. She's been hitting the bottle pretty hard this afternoon. Think I'll have Angel hair pasta for lunch. August 16, 2009 9:04PM - Saw James Cameron's Avatar. Heaven gets all the movies 12 months before they are released elsewhere. It rocks. Go and see it! August 17, 2009 5:05AM - MJ is at it again upstairs. The dude will NOT stop partying. I finally got to sleep at 3 this morning and damn if I wasn't woken up by the dude's trademark scream upstairs. I hit the ceiling with the broom but it did no good. Do I have to live with this for eternity?!?1 August 19, 2009 5:00PM - St John moved me next to Mother Teresa this morning. While quieter, I smell reefer coming from her room. Might go over then and ask for a toke. August 21 2009 8:00PM - God just finished up a rock concern this evening. Damn has she got some sweet rifts. Who knew!??

Comment While the info may be public knowledge (Score 1) 847

You just placed it all in one convenient location for a google search. The difference is needing to take the time to research this info vs. someone with a grudge doing a quicky search on Google and finding the name and address and picture of someone from this group. Also I doubt public record says that x officer is part of Jefferson area drug enforcement task force. _Typically_ ---note the word.) details on people dealing with drugs and gangs are kept confidential to avoid retaliation. The info on the people may be public knowledge. But I doubt the two facts are joined together in an easily obtainable fashion that her blog has done. This isn't as cut and dry as this article makes it out to be. I'm all for giving people access to as much data as possible on the net. However if such data puts a person, or a family (Which this could easily do.) in harms way. No. I do believe that people like this serve a vital purpose in society as public watchdogs. But there should be limits, and people should THINK about the consequences of their actions. How could this affect someone? Could this endanger a person? Could I decimate someone's life because of this? The net, with the appropriate viewers, can easily turn into the equivalent of a loaded gun being pointed into an open crowd. Think about what you do before you post something and pull the trigger. Maybe you won't hit anyone. But then again.
