Would-be Obama aides must disclose Web posts, Facebook profiles

A nine-page questionnaire requires applicants to list--and if possible, provide copies of--all "posts or comments on blogs or other Web sites" they have ever made. Also required are "aliases" or nicknames used on those sites.

Translated into English, this means that President-elect Obama wants to know far more about you than his predecessors did. That requirement would force applicants to disclose information about Facebook and MySpace pages, profiles posted on dating Web sites, and even what was posted on Web sites like CNET and YouTube that allow readers to append comments.

I wouldn't even know where to start.

Exactly! How would you make sense of my twitter comments because you can really follow a converstation on there. I used to belong to this site where there was a "Babble" board. I would have no idea how to get the comments on that to make sense even if I could get access to them all.

Think about it, I bet he would even want your ebay purchase, netflix comments and amazon.com reviews. I would never be able to do this.

NO ONE our age w/computer access could do this.
