WWW helped an old-schoolmate find me
An old schoolmate found me via Technorati, Google and Flickr. Thanks WWW for indexing/syndicating/storing all relevant (and irrelevant) data (blog posts, feeds, photographs, comments, mailing-list archives etc) about me.
I kept wondering how my friend got my primary email-id? it's not trivial but determined-person can know it. I am lately very concerned about privacy.

Yeah your friend must have tried this plain old trick, www.{friendname}.com :-)

very true
security is a major concern these days ... its very easy to trace someone "who is active online " ... blogs , discussions groups , social networking sites ...
