There was a story in Techcrunch today about a host­ing provider (Mete­ora Tech­nolo­gies Group) that acci­den­tally reveal­ing revealed a dump of Kleiner Perkins’s iFund data­base. The moral of the story don’t even put stuff pub­licly online that you don’t want Google (or the pub­lic) to find out about.

Google isn’t just good at their job, they are the best on the face of the earth at index­ing the Inter­net. They do it faster and bet­ter than any other search engine. Google will index this blog within about 15 min­utes of a post being pub­lished, the other search engines who knows. Pretty impres­sive con­sid­er­ing how small this blog is. Google finds things that you don’t even real­ize Google could find.

The only solu­tion is if you have some­thing you don’t want Google to find, put it behind a login screen, one that even Google can’t get past. If you can’t build it or don’t know how to set it up, then don’t put it online.
