Let's face it we are not alone online. Some of us might even feel as if we have a Bill Gates intellect following us online since the complexity of our web surfing and interfacing are not your mundane check email and play checkers on Pogo. My typical day online includes Wordsy and I always like to check in on Planet Save for email and to see if they are following my serious comments on the environment. They are really deep into saving the rainforest. I always go to yahoo to see what the normal people online are doing and I check in on my Yahoo
book and email.
I like to read offbeat blogs like Kaine Square Space just to see what I am thinking about lately. I scroll through the blogs on Blog Tool Kit and see what I am doing in Europe in Know What You Are Living For. I then top my day at Pogo
I know I am being followed, and the paranoia creeps in on me like a growling stomach by noon. I check my regular local emails. When I see strange email after email quoting discussions in chat rooms or making reference to websites that I have surfed and not pleasant email either by the way and not computer generated thank you for visiting ones either, then I know that someone is spending a lot of time letting me know that I am being followed.
Since I would give them my itinerary if they asked, what I really want to know is who is footing the bill for their vicarious online stalking and how many of them are needed to follow how many of us? What do they want, I say?
What is really freaky though is when your compute on DSL shuts down and you get a hang up phone call at the same time. That is freaky! I could find other ways of making us retired and online junkies snap, they could actually make sense on CNN and announcers would quit talking to themselves using phrases that make no sense on what they are supposed to be telling us.
