What these two studies underline is that we might be giving away much more personal information about ourselves than we realize. As <a href="http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/people/jkaufman">Jason Kaufman</a>, a research fellow at the Berkman Center for Internet and Society at Harvard University said in the Boston Globe article, "Potentially everything you ever do on the Internet will live forever. I like to think we’ll all learn to give each other a little more slack for our indiscretions and idiosyncrasies.”

I note that “the work has not been published in a scientific journal”. It’s certainly interesting, but I wouldn’t draw too much from the conclusions that were “based on their own knowledge outside the Facebook world”.
I think we’re getting to the point where there are two types of people in the world:
* Those who have a Facebook profile and therefore value self-expression over privacy issues.
* Those who don’t have a Facebook profile.
Interesting times we live in. Thanks for this memo, Paul!
