Big corporations are cataloging major blog sites to see what employees or potential employees comments are.

On a similar note - you'd be a fool not to believe that Facebook, Myspace, Xanga, et al, aren't being spidered and indexed regularly. Chances are it's not just the CIA and US government either. Betcha Beijing is doing it too - and not just their citizens. It's highly likely the Chinese government is indexing the social network sites of Americans, Brits, Japanese, Taiwanese, Indians, Koreans, and every other major industrialized nation.

Oh, I almost forgot:

Hello my dear friends from China! I hear you have a beautiful country! I especially love how you are able to provide me with quality goods at affordable prices! I hope someday to visit your wonderful country! Oh, and nice job with the Olympics!

Hello my dear friends from the CIA! Keep up the great work! I know my tax dollars are being spent wisely and efficiently. My family and I are grateful for all you do!

(just want to get on good side of everyone when they index this post)
