I'm worried about using some data in a fiddle (jsFiddle) because these data shouldn't be public.

Can Google index jsFiddle? I saved the fiddle but I don't save a title for it so it shouldn't became public..

However, the fiddle URL is still visible even if I log out from jsFiddle...

Some clarifications?

Thank you

There are currently two modes of privacy, one is public (where you add a title and description), this fiddle will show up in your dashboard and your public fiddle-list. The other mode is semi-public, where you don'y add description or title, hence the fiddle is only visible for you in your dashboard - crawlers shouldn't be able to reach there, hence shouldn't index your fiddles.

That said, the Beta version of JsFiddle has more privacy modes, including the much anticipated "private fiddle" - this functionality will be probably available only for subscribers.
