All of a sudden I feel incredibly exposed. I went to LJ search for something, and the proprietary Yandis LJ has used in-house forever is no more. It's Google search on LJ now, with results visible on the Google site itself. I don't really post intimate, private things on LJ even under flock, and I rarely ever flock posts in this journal. But I still am not crazy about a lighthearted conversation being readily apparent for anybody on Google. Or a pissy rant, or whatever.
I have both Facebook and Twitter accounts, mainly to keep track of people I don't see or hear from otherwise. I get news those places, I email. I don't post there, and I rarely hit the like button or comment on anything. I am aware every facet of our lives is on the internet already, really I am. But I have a dumbphone and intend to keep it as long as possible. If I'm away from my laptop, I'm offline. I don't have Google+ and I store nothing voluntarily in the cloud. I interact at the level I'm comfortable, and I keep my settings as locked down as possible and still have that interaction.
I'd really prefer not to have my every word and opinion on LJ broadcast for the entire world, and I'm not happy about this whole Google-availabilty of every post on LJ. I know I'm prone to going dark without warning, to gaps in interaction, to random unpredictable silences--those are emotional necessity. This? Is just my paranoia being triggered, I guess. Am I the only one?
