Linkblogging

1) Instructions on how to opt out of a creeptastic creepy thing. Check for your e-mail address(es), at the very least.

2) My heart is with all of you in Nashville and surrounding areas. A roundup of ways to help can be found here for locals and non-locals alike. Natives area also finding humor in the situation, and you can find those (including a fun song) about four paragraphs from the end.


And that's all I've got :I I feel like I should have at least one more, but I guess that's not how things roll today.



EDIT: Snopes.com suggests that Spokeo, from the first link, may actually be in the business of collecting e-mail addresses (see last paragraph). If this is indeed the case, I would like to apologize for spreading harmful information/suggestions.

I'm currently re-searching my stuff, to see if I can verify that they at least remove the info, if nothing else. While this seems to be the case from my home computer, I'm not confirming it until I double-check on an outside computer.

I wasn't aware of the Spokeo thing. Thank you for mentioning it.

Y-yeah, I wasn't aware either until it showed up on the ol' circle earlier today, so I figured signal boost = GOOD. *should do a belated hat-tip, now she thinks of it*

Pretty sure 'opting out' just gives them your e-mail address and they don't do a darn thing. Or so snopes says!

Well! I feel potentially foolish now. Time to update the post.
