Share too much on the Net?

The Internet is not as impersonal as it was; everything about it has gone personal it seems.. 

Social networking sites have popped up endlessly, people are uploading their pictures, telling people what they are up to, some people publishing pictures of what they are wearing, others discussing their life stories online and so on.. 

Which makes me wonder? 

Is that good? 

Is that acceptable? to share everything with people you partially know? (**some people don't have limits you see, and update their statuses every second, some even in their sleep it seems-how many times have you seen a "X is sleeping" on Facebook?) 

It seems like it's acceptable in this part of our world- hey almost everyone is on Facebook or twits it seems- but when you dig a bit deeper you'll see that the majority disapprove and are judgmental.. 

I don't know where i stand to tell you the truth, I'm pro being connected with your friends, and finding new forms of communication as well as expressing ones self be it on blogs,etc. but I'm against this minute by minute update/spilling your life out for others to see and follow.. 

I will read your status updates, I am guilty of clicking on "wall to wall" to follow conversations (**hey who isn't on Facebook?), but I am bothered and feel sorry for people who seem to be living in Facebook/twitter/msn/whatever.. 

I was an avid Facebook fanatic one day, but it started wearing off as soon as Facebook became a social obligation, in which you had to accept that random acquaintance that added you and whom you don't know anything about apart from the regular greetings in social circles, and whom can now check you out and look up on you from time to time whilst you don't even know their phone number in real life.. 

Blogging has turned impersonal as well as random people came up to me and told me they loved my blog- a compliment i cherish, but one that has made me feel uneasy at times. 

Others read and translated some posts into other things- i still don't know what to tell you the truth-, some attempted to explain the occurrence of my posts and random tidbits in my life; it's so funny, yet sad that people delve deep into a couple of stringed words and random sentences typed up on the internet.. 

If I have anything personal to say, I'd rather call up my best friend or share it with family; for what would possibly make me want to share things with a fairly judgmental crowd of strangers?  

Be Careful what you reveal and spare us all the details, 

xx
