Privacy

Privacy is hiding, concealing, or otherwise obfuscating, which is easy if you are a needle in a haystack of needles. Spending 2 or 3 minutes to limit your exposure is an easy fix. The various guides to privacy are all extremely helpful, and if you have ever had a credit card number filched or a weird statement on your credit report it is definitely worth the time.
My name is ordinarily common, it takes some pretty specific keywords to get to me, which is a slight comfort. The difficulty is that I wouldn't really spend the time to set up any security because I am a needle in a haystack of needles. However having been victimized by ID theft it becomes pretty easy to remind myself that I can be at risk just like anyone else.

"Ta DA" I don't really think that that quite fits but well, very few things do. What is a Digital Collaberator as a opposed to a desktop detective, or any other nickname that could be offered for a quick quiz on an internet site.
