This is more of a reminder for myself than anything else. I don't think this is something that is solely limited to a small group of people. Or maybe it is, I'm not sure. Anyway on to something more useful than an introduction of rambling.
If you find you signed up for a service and don't use it anymore. Permanently get rid of it. Services, like the popular profile sharing sites, won't necessarily remind you of the last time you used them.
Think of all the websites you visit on a daily basis that require you to login. Now think of any that you have not visited in a generous amount of time. You might want to go in and permanently delete your account.
In the days of identity theft any time you can decrease the amount of unnecessary information you have stored out there, do it. Especially if you think about all the stores that require you to signup for an account when you make a purchase.
You at the very least have filled out your name, address, telephone number and created a username and password. If you don't plan on shopping there anymore, delete the account or request it be terminated.
Don't make it easy to find information about you. Criminals are already getting information in bulk, so why should you let your information be in more places and easier to find?
