It is a wonderful place the internet ... it is also a bad place ... any information you write and post, photographs, links you make, sites you fill in your credit card details and even so-called 'anonymous' sites are all gathering information about you .... I have a site and only collect the most minor statistics ... such as IP number, but the people I use to collect the stats also collect country of origin, the internet provider such as Bellsouth, or British Telecom, they also collect how many time you visit that site, down to the last page, and what you do on that page and how long you stay on that page ..... and more ....
There is no such thing as anonymity on the internet ....

Did you know if you go online and let's say you see a nice picture of a dog you want to save ... what do you do ? You right click it and save it.
Try it on people's photo's the same thing happens ..... on an advert they usually have a long string of numbers and letters, that is to make it harder for a computer to scan and copy easily.... but try it with people you know .... what do most of us do ... we save it with the person's real name and maybe the date it was taken and/or the place it was taken .... and now I may have an idea of where you live or your real name ..... easy !!
Go and try it on mine in my profile, I have saved it with details so that you can see ... right click .... when it says save picture as : it will show my name, date it was taken and where the photograph was taken !!!!! Believe me now ?
I am not trying to scare people just reminding you all to be careful ... and if you don't care who sees you, then good for you ....
