After googling my name, a plethora of different "steve hurley's" popped up. None of which was myself, not even my facebook or google+ account. What did show up was an apparently pretty famous r&b musician steve "silk" hurley and "adult entertainer" steve hurley. Both of which I laughed at, along with more random people such as photographers, lawyers etc. I seriously went through 7 pages and nothing that was about me. I guess it is because my name is a pretty common one, but I was really surprised to see that my online presence is almost non existent since I do have facebook,google+, and other websites I have created or been a part of.

My situation most likely isn't the most common one, and internet privacy is something that I know people are concerned with. I really think though, if you do not want your information available, dont post it! People should be aware that yes there are privacy settings on some websites, but for the most part, the internet is an immense tool with immense capabilities, some of which make it possible for your information and privacy to be seen even if you dont want it to.
