There are people who are uncomfortable about the intrusions of various websites, but who use those websites anyway. These people "just" need a better alternative to switch.

But I have no idea what to do about the people who just don't care.

For example, OKC recommended a person to me recently.

EDIT: Redacted a bit more.

She lists her blackberry pin; her facebook account; an email address; her cell / mobile phone number; and her twitter account.

That's enough information to find her profiles on a wide range of websites.




Even though you redacted that information it's quite easy to find that person still because of the poor spelling and grammar. Perhaps you should remove it.


Yes. You're right. I have done.


You'd be surprised to see how easy is to find all that with just the OKC username. Lots of people use the same handler for all kinds of services.
