I see people taking their journals private to avoid being indexed by Google. Not me. I want to be part of the emergent hive mind. I want to skew Google's aggregate opinion, even if just a little bit. This is what the web is all about.
Yeah, I pretty much figured from the get-go that if I post something on the web, I'm saying I want it to be read, indexed, etc. I'm vain enough to want anything I post public to be searchable. I will post things and mark them private/friends if I'd rather they not be casually available (say, for instance, without a subpoena, or other serious intent) but nothing that's truly private of mine lives on a piece of hardware that's not in my physical possession. That's why I could never get behind gmail.
