If you’ve ever said, “If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to worry about,” go tell your spouse what you said to your best friend the last time you had a marital spat. Track your time at work in great detail for the next month, down to the minute, and share the results with your boss.

Put a webcam in your bathroom. Post your tax returns online. Tweet your social security number.

Ben & Jerry's stops advertising on #twitter.

Glad to see this. At the end of my father's career at Good Humor/Breyer's, the company acquired B&J and he spent some time at their office & plant in Vermont. So I feel some family affection for the company & glad to see them stop paying EM. May many others follow suit.
