e-cleaning.

Yesterday I did some much needed e-cleaning: I deleted my two MySpace accounts which I never used (one personal, one for students), and I purged both my main Facebook and my Twitter accounts of followers who were either: a.) former students; b.) classmates from way-back-when I never wanted to add in the first place; and c.) random people /companies/possible spambots I don't even know. I also created a separate Facebook for my students, that way they won't feel compelled to request me on my personal account. Finally, I upped the privacy settings on both Facebook and Twitter.

I feel so much better after doing this.

It's just there has to be a limit as to how personal I want to get on the Internet. I know my owning a blog kind of goes against this, but at least with a blog I can control what I want to share. Before, I didn't feel I had that same control with Facebook and Twitter. I do now.
