Leet Speak

Grammar or Lack Thereof
As you've already seen, basic l33t is just replacing vowels with numbers:
A = 4
E = 3
I = 1
O = 0
However l33t is a very flexible 'language' and you can go from this very basic l33t, to ultra 1337 by being creative; a few examples:
O = ()
U = |_|
T = 7
D = |)
W = \/\/
S = $
There is no agreed-upon way to write l33t, so it's up to you whether or not to go with light l33t, medium 1337, hard |_337 or even ultra |_33¯|¯. In this entry, 'l33t' is used except when referring to medium, hard or ultra '1337'.

My Space

Did you know that everything you post at MySpace is currently being recorded, and spidered by search engines such as Google? In other words, do you realize that everything you say on your MySpace blog can be easily read by anyone who really wants to find it?"
The smiles began to fade. Another question from me.
"Did you know that right now all human resource professionals not only Google your name when they're checking up on you, but they also use tools to look inside MySpace to see if they can find information about you? You know what you're writing on your profiles, do you think that information is going to help you get a job with that HR person, or hurt you?"
No more smiles. I could see the wheels turning in their heads. "Should I have written about passing out in the kitchen last night after doing 15 Jello shots? Hmm, probably not."
No, probably not.
MySpace is a neat product. But when you really think about it, the demographic that primarily uses it is setting themselves up for a big fall down the road as they grow up and enter the "real world." Think about it. Would you like someone to be able read about all the things you did back in high school and college your parents never knew about?
