[Noisebridge-discuss] Streaming Noisebridge meetings [help needed]

First, theory:  what's said at meetings -- the words that come out of
people's mouths -- are not necessary what people would put in writing.

Yeah, we do a lot of shit through google, but this list is public and
search engine index-able (in case you didn't know).  So I use my gmail
account for this list, because I consider it compromised already.

Browser viewing isn't the issue.  I guess you could make an argument
that if you use Google Chrome you should probably be using it in
Incognito mode:

And then you could go a step further and say, hey, we should be piping
this meeting through a Tor node.

But: one step at a time, I say.  And step 1 would be to NOT take the
step of starting to rely on yet another shady social service,
especially one with as poor a track record as Google's.  (References
gladly provided upon request.)
