Investor’s Business Daily: Blog-Tracking May Gain Ground Among U.S. Intelligence Officials

Posted by: of ExecutiveSummary.com on 04/29/04

Be careful what you wish for — or what you blog about, anyway. This article describes that spooks have caught on to blogs and are using them to track trends and turn up interesting bits of information. The article also says China is trying to block blogs. All I can say is good luck. (I’m visiting China later in May; let’s see whether they can keep me off my blogs.)

  1. Yes, blogging is proving to be a happy hunting ground for criminals of all types, too, especially con men.

    Particularly hot right now is the vending of every sort of identity theft activity known.
    Everything, from social security numbers, cards, bank accont numbers, debit cards, drivers’ licenses,  all the way through to birth and death certificates.  If you have a criminal turn of mind you can now outfit yourself with a brand new identity for under $2,000.

    In the late 19th century, con men were actually tarred, feathered and run out of town on a rail.  Ah, for the good old days.
