Getting Busted Online

Great article on E-Commerce News today about telling a few white lies and getting caught online.

Times have really changed. I remember the day in high school when I skipped school. I had planned the whole thing out, and I went to the lake with a friend, and I thought I was being so sneaky. I don’t know to this day how my mom found out, but she did, and of course, I spent a LOT of time in my room for the next month.  I redecorated a wall in my room about seven times and got grounded again for knocking a hole in the wall when I changed out the mirror.

And now, here we are, in 2008, and a few Tweets and the boss finds out you’re not really sick, or those wild photos from the party on Saturday night show up on Facebook.

I just can’t help but wonder if all of this Web 2.0 stuff is Big Brother come to life. hmmm…interesting.

At any rate, check out the article. I did get a few laughs out loud as I recalled Ferris Bueller’s Day Off and the Seinfeld episode where George freaks out about his worlds colliding when his fiancee starts hanging out with his friends. I don’t care if they are outdated…I could watch them over and over again. As a matter of fact, I think I’ll pop in Seinfeld before turning out the lights…hmmm…I think I’ll watch the episode where Jerry dates the girl with man hands (hilarious!)
