Broadcast Yourself?

What I do not understand is when people (mostly young women) write everything about themselves in their blogs. Okay - if it's anonymous and there's no way anyone can find out who's writing that's better in my eyes (I'm apparently one of them). Buuuut when they upload pictures of themselves (in some cases with their workmates, children, boyfriends, etc.) and reveal every single little detail about their lives, their thoughts, experiences, issues - plus - reveal things about other people that are not giving their permission to such an exposure, I find it appalling.

Do they not understand that anyone can read their blogs? Do they not know that their sworn enemies (or future assaulters?), their moms, friends, or bosses will know things they are not supposed to know? If someone wants to hurt such a blogger, it'd be fairly easy. Or, to take a less aggressive example, if their boss gets to know another side of the blogger that maybe isn't fitting, he or she can lose their job.

And to blog about every single detail about your kids... Man, that's just evil. They haven't approved to being broadcasted all over the world, having their private photos downloaded to anyone's harddrive, or having the words "David had diarrhea today" forever printed in the cached memory of Google.

Don't get me wrong - there's no better read than the blog that tells me everything about a person with a face, especially if I know who that person is in real life. It's just that if I wanted to use that information against that face, I could really do some harm. Lucky for them, I don't have that in me. But someone else might.
