I thought the dollar sign with the picture of the house was the value of the property they live in?
It was an estimated amount on one of the tab thingies. $255K and $360K at the different locations. I also have 2 living parents at one location. The tabs were taking me to a little info card, the icon was taking me to the payment page.
I requested removal for both and received an auto mailer removal confirmation link in my email.
^^^ Interesting, whenever I click on the wealth tab for anyone I search it just asks me to sign up.
Damn good thing my subscriptions to certain adult sites don’t show up on that site.

What is confusing was it the title I chose for the post. I am just talking about a website that can be used by anyone to look up just about anyone’s online information in the US. It is a compiled list of memberships to websites , any online dating websites they have joined youtube videos , facebook pictures , blog post etc… personally I wouldn’t like having all that info readily accesible to anyone who goes on that website.[/quote]
This is why I (and a few other posters here) have always asserted that people need to be more careful with the shit they post online… even on something generally accepted as more-or-less ‘anonymous’ like this forum.
Employers already are oftentimes checking Facebook and other social networking sites before hiring prospective employees. While the web site you linked to doesn’t provide the information for free, the cost would most likely be considered nominal to most businesses looking to ensure the hiring of the most suitable applicant - if not now, then certainly in a few short years when the technology for tracking people becomes exponentially more effective.
The interweb is becoming increasingly less and less anonymous at an extremely rapid pace, and many people who don’t appreciate the data trail they leave behind aren’t doing themselves any favors with the way they conduct themselves online. I’m not suggesting that people should wear a paper bag on their head for any and all photos they want to put up… just saying that I wouldn’t be at all surprised if some people wind up regretting posting that ass shot of themselves when it pops up on a pre-employment screening.[/quote]
Oh I definitely regret some of my postings. I also had someone find me and photos, family photos, of me off the web and my home number.
It is crazy.
I just read this article on cnn.com about a man fired for a facebook posting. He said he didn’t like 5 Hour Energy. The thing is, he works for the company. Now that is just stupid.

Exactly! And who can forget about Kevin Colvin, the poster boy for getting fucked over by social networking sites. Not quite as dumb as the situation you posted, but a tad more embarrassing, I think, and it does highlight the disconnect that some people seem to feel exists between the real world and the web.
Again, not a tin foil hatter, but it would be crazy to think that the pendulum is going to swing back towards MORE privacy and anonymity anytime soon.

[Approaching tin hat status]
I could see how some in the govt would like the reduction of privacy (re: patriot act, TSA, etc.).

I’m pretty private and low key yet they have a picture of my house on there.

I think having a bunch of wrong information might be worse. Anyone try to correct a wrong credit report? You have to prove the information is wrong when they only require the chance it might be right to consider it right. Ever try to prove someone that you have not lived in a state when they respond with, “we have that you did.” Ask for their proof and they will not share.
