me either. i have no desire to track people down or be tracked down and there are other - more private - ways to keep in touch with the people i actually do like to keep in touch with. :P
I lost interest when they pulled out a flow chart of businesses I've never heard of. From what I understood, all they really do is sell stats of what movies you like.
Really, this is surprising to anyone? Anything you put on the Internet can be exploited. Posts on pearljam.com can technically be exploited by outside companies. After a while you might as well put on a tinfoil hat.
It's no different that having google[bots] yahoo[bots] on this site. All of us can be tracked and located at anytime, no matter how smart we think we are being.
I use both myspace and facebook. I'm more open on myspace (because I don't have my extended family or everyone I went to high school with as friends on there) but I'm still careful with what I put up there. You have to consider that the media is free to report on anything you post. How many times have you watched the news and they are reporting on someone who got arrested and their myspace page is on TV? I don't do anything crazy, and no one but and my friends are going to care about the pictures I took at Pearl Jam concerts.
I don't have a facebook - I don't want people all up in my business that much. I twitter though. Its kind of like blogging lite. 140 characters and less filling.

sure, of course!
only difference is...here you are known by some anonymous username, whereas facebook, myspace, etc....you willingly put out your true identity and and other info you choose. i don't think i am being smart about it, i just don't like to be obvious about it either. as i said, for me, i far rather keep track of people thru other, more low-key ways. quite honestly, if it weren't for pj, i'd probably never have gotten involved in any online community, message board, etc. i never got involved in chatrooms, blogs, etc. this polac e- or the first 'this place' for pj that i joined - is what really bought me out, participating on the internet. otherwise, it was merely a resource tool.
I showed that video to my 19 and 14 year olds. They actually watched it - we were in the kitchen and the 19 year old had her laptop out and was goofing around. They watched it, and I noticed a couple of audible swallows. They are both bright girls and understood everything. I think it will give them food for thought.

that's nice to hear... there's hope for the next generation yet . I'm not sure kids are fully aware... sure our generation may be a bit wary but I don't think they really have a clue... have you made them read 1984 yet? I think all kids should read that to know how things COULD be. :(

I don't know if they've read that or not. They should. I may drop a few hints and see what they say. They are plenty subversive when they want to be!

I personally dont care about the so called "lack of privacy". Whether its true or not, I could care less.
Yeah its honestly not that bad, people are just paranoid. Sure they can use your info for whatever they like, you post pictures there they can use them, they use all that stuff to gather info about the masses, whatever who cares if they are gathering info about what movies you like etc etc, its all petty stuff anyways, if you just use it to stay in touch with people and post pictures, it is fine, just never put your phone numbers, addresses, email addresses etc on there.

I read that when the person created "The Facebook", he was drunk and he made fun of people who posted their pic. He said they were ugly. Nice to know...

I'm curious - for those of you don't really care about privacy issues in conjunction with facebook, how would you feel if a company you've applied to a job for saw your facebook? Have you protected your infomation and pictures for this contingency? It has been documented that companies do in fact check facebooks, and have made decisions not to hire people based on what they saw.

I read part of your link there and I speaking of "provocative", I don't understand some of the slutty avatar pics I've seen on myspace, in particular. During my lunch hour at work, I have checked out musician's myspace accounts and I'm afraid I'll be busted for looking at porn b/c their friends are wearing thongs and S&M attire or are 3/4 nude. I guess it's to drum up business.

I could care less... When hiring people, I do check facebook and myspace and some people put stupid things on there (and not make them private). People who willingly put their whole lives on there have no room to be concerned about "privacy".
My facebook is private, but honestly if a potential employer saw mine, I wouldn't care... a few pics of me and my family (and dog) is pretty much all that is there. They might find out that a few high school friends are still drunken idiots, but who doesn't know people from high school that are still like that 15 years later?

I'm applying for jobs and don't really have any concerns about Facebook. I have my profile set to viewable only by friends, though I do have many of my photo albums available to all. As far as privacy is concerned, I think common sense rules all. If you put anything out to the world via the internet, it's out there for all to see.
did you see the young lady who was fired for writing that she was bored at work on her facebook? her supervisor fired her b/c she had been there for 3 months and he needed a real go getter and felt that with that attitude, she would not be a good employee for the position. edited

Honestly, someone could post a picture of my balls there, and I wouldn't care.
I know people have the right to privacy, but I don't feel the need to hide anything.
