Some Things are Better Left Un-spokeo-n

Denise has an important Public Service Announcement regarding online privacy and the people-search website Spokeo.

You’ll probably want to get your listing taken out of there. I know I did. The amount of information that was provided was kind of scary–and in some cases, appallingly inaccurate.

For example, my profile reported that I live in a $1 million+ home. Yeah, RIGHT! I’m not even sure there are homes valued at that much in this three-town zip code!

The website is exceedingly slow to use, but it’s worth the time to get your private information out of there. Yes, someone could find it all in other places, but it wouldn’t be as easy as typing in ONE search term.
