"Googling" People
When I meet someone, sometimes I find myself "Googling" them. I especially find myself doing it if they are a member of the opposite sex that I find attractive. Often I do it just to see if I can find a good picture of them somewhere. Other times I do it to try and find out as much as I can about the person.
There has been a rapid decline in my "googling" for facts on people because I have started to question the morality of it. Is it right to try and dig up "dirt" on people without their knowledge or consent? I'm not quite sure...
So, if anyone out there actually reads this pathetic excuse for a blog, I would like to start some discussion on the morality of the subject of "googling" people. Feel free to comment.

I'll admit, I've googled a couple people...but usually only relatives or people I've known for a while. Even then, it feels slightly stalkerish. I think it's ok to google poeple you know who won't care, just because it's interesting. But googling people you've recently met for pictures or info is a little bit sketchy.
