I only drunken rant
ON GREENLIGHTED THREADS!!11!1!

If you plan on having a job that involves people that know how to Google, and you're making a fool of yourself frequently, then you only have yourself to blame if you make your foolishness public.

total horse shiat.

As if this is new? I created a new handle because post were showing up in Google searches with my old handle! This handle shows up too but I only use it on Fark.

meh, as long as my sober rants are still hidden, I'm good.

I love the poll at the end. "Is Facebook privacy worth ditching Google for another search engine? Yes/No"

HA! privacy, facebook... ha, eh.

I think I will have a hot buttered rum now. Thanks.

In the 3rd sentence, "While private users will still be protected..."

Don't want your comments available to the public? Set your profile to private. It really is that simple.

frenchcheesemuseum: That's okay, my blatant trolling and shenaniganery in Fark already shows up.

Not mine!

oh nooo, the internets!
this isn't really news to me though--i have a unique last name but a common american first name...so when i google my name everything that comes up is mine, allowing me to sort through and delete all the weird stuff that shows up on google. the only thing incriminating that i haven't been able to get rid of (yet) is a stupid article that i was quoted in back in college.

it posts stupid crap sometimes though, like groups i 'like' or ramblings i've made at stupid peoples comments on news stories. it's pretty creepy.

Mitch Taylor's Bro:

Most of my rants, drunken or sober, are in Fark comments these days.

On Facebook by now my FBFs have clicked "hide this luser" and FOFs just ignore or block me.

FTFA: "While private users will still be protected, any comments made on Facebook forms on other websites or public pages within the social networking site will be indexed and open for all the world to see."

I don't make comments "on Facebook forms on other websites or public pages within the social networking site." Having read the instructions I minimize my footprint: on Facebook you've got to ask for a chance to ignore me.

By the way, is there anybody out there who actually enjoys a lot of my comments here? If so they can treat that these days.

FB panics come and go, but really this has always been true. Only people with poor understanding of the features available on Facebook end up broadcasting sh*t to the world.

Which actually is quite delightful, like the page for that chick on here last week pulled over after a 120mph, nude, drunken car chase. Oh what a gem! So much exposition provided for an already-funny story.

well since you can't TECHNICALLY delete things from google (once they're cached and all that nonsense) the best you can do is go back to the place you posted and delete it. for instance, i found a post from back in the days of livejournal. someone else had used my name in a comment and for some reason google decided that the chain of comments we had when we were rambling teens was necessary material. since that person had made that comment, i couldn't delete it. so my name will sadly show up forever unless he deletes his profile. so the best i could do? delete all the comments i had made back and delete my old profile. that way even if someone does find it, they can't see whatever comments i made, and his won't make any sense.

i know it seems ghetto but atleast prospective employers wont be able to see how weird i was when i was younger. i mean, i'l still weird as hell...but....teenage weird is a whole different level....

so...in a nutshell...you really can't delete stuff if other people post it about you. unless you have direct access to their website. which is why the article about taco bell still shows up. damn you taco bell.

Smells like opportunity to me. Goodness knows my drunken rants on Fark haven't garnered me the fleeting notoriety I crave. What will I have to do to make my Facebook rants really stand out on Google?

It's good to be an early adopter. I have a slew of accounts that are associated with defunct email addresses. I still was able to open facebook accounts using some dummy accounts. One of them is my cat. The name just has to look plausible to FB. Even then, there are over a thousand users named "Kitty Katz". It's also good to have a waspy name. There are about 200 people with the same name as me. Good luck figuring out if I'm a folksinger, a science fiction fan into cosplay, an IBM senior executive, an old guard ARPANET admin, or an outpatienty ranter.

As time goes by and more crap winds up on the internet, search results get even less useful. Occasionally, I go poking around for some search results that used to get me and those sites are down and there's nothing in google's cache.

wouldnt want to work for/with anyone who didnt also have drunken fun on their OFF TIME.

one of my posts said, "its ok, i'll be sober in time for work on monday". so thats like responsible and stuff, right??

Good.

I work with a guy who practically went through a mental breakdown via facebook for a little over a month after a girl he dated (for a MONTH) dumped him. He would update his status multiple times a day with either depressing "please give me attention" posts or he would publically berate her. I told him, more than a few times, that if he ever wanted to date a girl he was friends with on facebook, he should stop that shiat ASAP. He didn't listen. Like I said, every day, multiple times a day, for a month. He eventually resorted to showing up at this girl's church to try to talk to her parents about her dumping him. Farking headcase.

This facebook nonsense needs to be google searchable to keep any poor girl from ever dating this psycho.

lol i drunken rant in the trade chat channel in warcraft a lot, i'd be honored to be viewed by others, why is the rum always gone ?

Many thanks!

Simple solution:

Don't use facebook.

If you can't stop yourself from using facebook - do not post anything you do not want searchable back to you on the internet. Use a freak'n pseudonym if you can't help but rage about sensitive topics.

oh man if only there were some place for drunken rants that your mom didn't read
some kind of journal

My drunken rants I'm fine with. Alcohol tends to make me a nicer guy so it's all love.

The rants about my acid experiences on the other hand, yeah they may not have been the smartest thing to post...

/although I hate hiding anything from anyone, transparency is nice.

Tired of people. Thinking of selling everything and driving to California.

Please will some girl talk me into staying?

You should really check out the Facebook Platinum account (assuming you qualify).....membership has its priveleges.

There is a better way than just deleting your side of a discussion.

Go back and change your profile on that site so it no longer resembles you - change photo, change age and residence, educational details etc.

Then if anyone comes agoogling, they'll assume it's someone else with same name.

b04155: I love the poll at the end. "Is Facebook privacy worth ditching Google for another search engine? Yes/No"

HA! privacy, facebook... ha, eh.

How does that even make sense? For privacy OTHER PEOPLE have to not use the search engine. You can't stop people from Googling you by just not using google.
