How can you be bothered by this "feature" when google never forgets?

When will people start taking responsibility for their actions?

I challenge you to make a blog post, wait for it to appear on Technorati or your favorite ping service, then delete your post. Once it's been indexed it is online forever.

So don't publish, update, ping, poke, status, or send anything you wouldn't want your mother, boss or customer to see. Sign your name or nick to everything to remind you that EVERYTHING is public. That includes all the so-called "personal" information everyone is crying wolf about.

Lastly pressure governments and institutions to stop using personal information as a proxy for identity.
