How private is your photo-sharing account?
Do you worry about people looking at your stuff, or is security not an issue for you?
I'm concerned that pictures of my cats may fall into the wrong hands. :o

2. I keep my photos private...the old-fashioned way.
Generally of the gorgeous triplets and other family stuff....none are digital and I keep them private...as they should be.

3. Mine's private
And I don't put any pictures on it that I don't want anybody to "accidentally" hack into, if you know what I mean.

4. Walgreen's and Photobucket have my photos ---
They wouldn't mean anything to anybody except those I post or direct others to see.

No problem.

Are YOU worried about it?

8. Not really
Just there are often photos that I wouldn't necessarily want to share with my parents. ;-)

5. I keep the good stuff out of my photobucket account
both to keep it private and because I don't want to violate PB's rules and lose my account. As a result there's nothing in there worth hiding.

6. Both my photobucket and ranchoweb accounts are password-protected.
And I regularly clean my kids' pictures out of them.

That's not to say people haven't saved photos I've posted to their own computers, because I know they have. I just do the best I can.

11. exactly. Can you imagine if you were to post something from your PhoBucket
account and somebody took the time to access the rest of your photos? I mean, imagine what kinds of things might get out and circulated without you even knowing.

It's chilling, the issues that the digital age has created.

9. All the pictures that I have in my photobucket account
are ones that I'd have no problem having anyone see......

The truly private stuff does NOT go near that account.....

Edited on Fri Jan-20-06 01:57 AM by Radio_Lady
(Clears throat) Tits and ass -- can I get away with that? Bounce your boobies!

A Chorus Line
Soundtrack Lyrics

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Artist: Lyrics
Song: Dance: Ten; Looks: Three Lyrics


Dance: ten; Looks: three.
And I'm still on unemployment,
Dancing for my own enjoyment.
That ain't it, kid. That ain't it, kid.

"Dance: ten; Looks: three,"
I like to die!
Left the theatre and
Called the doctor for
My appointment to buy...

Tits and ass.
Bought myself a fancy pair.
Tightened up the derriere.
Did the nose with it.
All that goes with it.

Tits and ass!
Had the bingo-bongos done.
Suddenly I'm getting nash'nal tours!
Tits and ass won't get you jobs
Unless they're yours.

Didn't cost a fortune neither.
Didn't hurt my sex life either.

Flat and sassy,
I would get the strays and losers.
Beggars really can't be choosers.
That ain't it, kid. That ain't it, kid.

Fised the chassis.
"How do you do!"
Life turned into and
Endless medley of
"Gee it had to be you!"
Why?

Tits and ass!
Where the cupboard once was bare
Now you knock and someone's there.
You have got 'em, hey.
Top to bottom, hey.

It's a gas!
Just a dash of silicone.
Shake your new maracas and you find!
Tits and ass can change your life.
They sure changed mine.

Have it all done.
Honey, take my word.
Grab a cab, c'mon.
See the wizard on
Park and Seventy-Third
For

Tits and ass.
Orchestra or balcony.
What they want is whatcha see.
Keep the best of you.
Do the rest of you.

Pits or class.
I have never seen it fail.
Debutante or chorus girl or wife.

Tits and ass,
Yes, tits and ass
Have changed...
My...
Life...!

23. Smilies from other cultures (Japan?) (not as funny as Buffy's...)
Edited on Thu Jan-19-06 01:44 AM by Radio_Lady

Smilies (do we have all of these?) (On Edit: I guess not...)

'Smilies' are small graphical images that can be used to convey an emotion or feeling. If you have used email or internet chat, you are likely familiar with the smilie concept. Certain standard strings are automatically converted into smilies. Try twisting your head on one side if you do not 'get' smilies; using a bit of imagination should reveal a face of some description.

If you want to disable smilies in a post that you make, you can select the 'Disable Smilies' option when posting. This is particularly useful if you are posting program code and you do not want ;) converted to a smilie face!

I have things that are private. But, I would never put them on a remote server.

29. I assume no privacy
Anything really incriminating I don't put in a photo account - I email it privately.

On the other hand, who the fuck cares? I doubt anyone could really think less of me at this point. And I am not ashamed :)
