So you don't want to share your personal information. Don't.

1234 Main St.
Seattle, WA 98011

or my personal fav (only because I can remember the zipcode for some reason or another)

Beverly Hills, CA 90210

Your name is the first and last name of your Pet.

Daisy Dog or Malcom Cat or Joe Fish

Your birthday is April 1st of any year over 1991.

Then NEVER share your actual information with anyone on the site. Or, set it up and give limited information and set the privacy to extremely private so no one can see what you're doing.

Basically, if you just log onto the internet, big brother can see what you're doing and track you via your ip address. It's protecting yourself from the other people out there.

And PLEASE if you 'like' an artist on Facebook, it helps you keep track of what they are up to and if they have any offers they want to do.

I personally, do all my free giveaways via email. From my email to your email. I don't care if your cat gets all kinds of excited over my single and if I'm sending an email to them once a month, I know who really reads it.

We're near where the Tippecanoe flows into the Wabash, a couple miles from the site of The Prophet's Town.

Privacy's overrated; when I was shopping for a house, I learned that every realtor in town knows what your house is worth, so does every bank and the tax assessor. (and they don't even need the internet for that, but it's faster) The folks at the bank where you cash your paycheck know how much you pull down a week. There's literally nothing of any importance about you that everybody doesn't already know or can find out right quick, for thirty-five dollars or less, and most of it's free, if you know where to look. Criminal background, pending court cases, all public records; the only info that's presumed to be even slightly secure are your medical and dental records.

I assume every mouseclick and word I type on the internet are being recorded somewhere, but how much of that is actually useful for anybody to know? If advertisers use my online activity to better target advertisements, I'm in favor, cuz it's less time lookin' at potential tattoo artists, invites to join the Nazi party or the Kim Kardashian Fan Club; probably saves me more trouble than I'll ever know. It behooves a person who might at any moment become a public figure to not bother having any secrets, and that's how I've been livin' my life for a real long time, now, though I'll admit I'm kinda glad everybody didn't carry cam-phones when I was in my twenties and thirties.

Judy: Went & listened to "Do You Wonder". Really a sweet tune, works here, thanks for posting it! Ott

Adverts, yep Zircon

+ Without adverts on these sites we would have to pay to use them.

Because non of us want to pay we choose the free and don't mind the adverts, so we create the way it is.

(just keep routinely clearing out your browser cookies to cut it down)

Any website that allows us to sign up and post content doesn't want spammers right, will want some 'real' info to prove we are not a spammer ( or a bot )

Adverts, course, aint Taxi 50% + about getting our music into those very adverts ... ( ? )

nothing to worry about Ott, dive in I say, if all your doing is sharing love, then it's at worst just a bit more spam to ignore perhaps , but cool if that "spam" we were paid to write the music for hey

.. and round and round the world goes on
