More Americans are doing ‘the Google’ about themselves...
In that latest report from the Pew Internet and American Life Project:
-47% of U.S. adult Internet users have looked for information about themselves through Google or another search engine.
-Americans under 50 and those with more education and income were more likely to self-Google.
-53% of adult Internet users admit to looking up information about someone else (excluding celebrities).
-About 60% of Internet users said they aren't worried about the extent of information about themselves online. http://apnews.myway.com/article/20071216/D8TIPBT00.html
Better late than never?
OBERLIN, Kansas (AP) - A postcard featuring a color drawing of Santa Claus and a young girl just arrived in northwest Kansas…a little late. It was mailed back in 1914. The Christmas card was dated December 23, 1914, and mailed to Ethel Martin of Oberlin, Kansas, apparently from her cousins in Nebraska.
The post office in Oberlin wanted to get the card to Ethel Martin. But, Ms Martin has past on…so the 93 year old card ended up with Bernice Martin, Ethel's sister-in-law.
The card was placed inside another envelope with modern postage for the trip to Oberlin - the one-cent postage of the early 20th century wouldn't have covered it, Martin said. "We don't know much about it," she said. "But wherever they kept it, it was in perfect shape." http://apnews.myway.com/article/20071215/D8THKNU01.html
FYI: Wednesday will be the biggest delivery day for the US Postal Service.
Monday was the busiest mailing day of the year for the US Postal Service.
