We live in a time where one’s privacy is being taken lightly. We live in an era where informations travels in the speed of light. Someone did something wrong at somewhere, expect it to be blogged, tweeted, with photo evidenced uploaded to Facebook or other social network sites.

In recent events, has the local blogosphere are talking about none other then the police report lodged against Anwar Ibrahim. Not long after that, pictures of the alleged person who filed the report made it to the Internet, on blogs.

In a not so recent event, a minister committed adultery, the video spreads like wildfire.

Unlike the mainstream media, blogs are not bound by journalistic rules and regulations. Looking at local Malaysian blogosphere, it’s all about he says, she says, these days.

It seems that bloggers nowadays are more fierce then media journalist in being the first to broke a story. Most of the time they don’t bother going through the facts.

Don’t think that blogs are nothing serious and that nobody reads blogs anyway. Nowadays, employers are goggling (using Google) to search for informations about their future employees. Like it or not, all your personal information are available online. Either its from things you put up on social networks, or things you put up on your blog, or things your friend put up on their blogs, everything gets aggregated.

Taken from the a line in the TV series, Gossip Girls, “You are nobody until you are talked about”.
