Scott Andrew has some thoughts on privacy and blogging:

When most of us think of privacy and weblogs, we think of obvious things like pseudonyms and slapping password protection on a directory. I have to admit that when Joyce approached me with the idea, the first thing I though was, "oh, that's like LiveJournal" and "what's wrong with .htaccess?" So much of the talk about weblogging concerns unfettered sharing (via posting, comments, syndication, Trackback, etc.) ? little, if any, voice is given to the opposite.

The knee-jerk response to this is the well-worn "don't put it on the Web, then!" which admittedly is the best solution. But this becomes unworkable as weblogging continues to weave itself into the fabric of business and everyday life.

Unworkable how? Just because *everyone* (or so it sometimes seems) has a camera phone or a moble blogging device of some sort, how does this translate into the idea that it will soon become *impossible* to keep our thoughts and visual adventures off the web?

Does Scott truly believe that technology is about to become that intrusive or that bloggers have that little self control over the blog/not blog reflex?
