Privacy is Dead. Get Over It….

That’s a famous quote from Scott McNealy, who was CEO of Sun Microsystems.

I hate to say it, but I think he might be right.

Whether recent hubbub around Facebook’s new Terms of Service, everyone having a camera phone, a site that lets everyone see how ineffective your meetings are, we are now more exposed to the outside world than ever before.

And I don’t think it can be stopped, so it becomes Darwinian. Adapt or else.

In case you haven’t heard, the latest entrant is Unvarnished, where anyone can go in and write reviews about your work performance.

So, while your resume may say one thing, your Unvarnished profile may say something entirely different.

I guess the best advice is: don’t be a jerk. Inspire people. Make many, many, many more friends than enemies.
