You know, I feel like I conceal my identity pretty well on the internet. I have a bogus facebook, I use different emails for different things and I never disclose my full name anywhere with my online alias (ok well, some of you know my full name, but there's plenty of people with the same last/first name combo so blah).

And then one day I'm just browsing(stalking) facebook and I look at the suggested friends panel, finding properbritishs facebook. Wait what? I've never interacted with ANYONE on this forum with that account and for some reason it says that I MAY JUST KNOW PROPER?

Wat. Da. Fuq?! What data mining is this? To what extent do they use data on the internet to do these things? What's being monitored?

The only link I can see here is my email disclosed in my profile ties into my fake account by being the backup of the email used in the account. Even then, I highly doubt that was the link in establishing this connection, I feel like it was a much more...intrusive method.

Oh boy I know this blog is coming back to haunt me.

This reminds me that I should connect with some of you guys though, instead of just interacting with my long and often boring posts.
