[Spridgets] Your Internet Footprint - No LBC Content

[Tim Collins]

I heard a story on NPR today about how researchers at MIT have 
developed a program that graphically shows your "Internet footprint." 
I tried it out and my little footprint consists of a "relationship" 
with three cousins, a sister-in-law, and westlakemonze1330. This is 
suppose to cover a time period of 1.6 years. Ok, I understand the 
relative connections, but I don't understand why westlakemonze1330? 
We have communicated a few times directly - probably less than 8 in 
1.6 years. And, where's the connection to my brother who I contact 
way more than westlakemonze1330? I AM careful about my Internet 
footprint, however, since I am in the "Retired University Dean 
Retirement and Relocation Program." At any rate, the rest of you are 
safe from any Internet connections to me, I guess. Just to be safe, 
burn this message after you read it.
