Happen to know some in this hobby creep on me and my profiles which are quite easy to find, should probably make it more difficult to do so haha
All of these public profiles that people have, selfies, links to fb/twitter, self promotion and Flickr accounts with the exif data it shares... It has got to carry risks.
Hence the (relative) anonymity I try to maintain.
I don't want waifs and strays following my every move.
I'm not saying people can't share this info, but there needs to be some appreciation that it may come back to haunt some.
I remember commenting on David Horne's use of twitter on the forum and wondering if Martijn Gilbert would come to regret it as he started working for a company with a bigger fanbase. Whilst I am sure both David and Martijns use of twitter achieves positive things, there must be negative.
Stewart Donald at Sunderland must regret the day he used his social media in the way he did when he first arrived.
I remember going to a meeting at East Coast House in York a year or two back and DH was the person to have signed in, in front of me.
Imagine if I was a 'social media weirdo'?!
Owt could have been said or done!
