What do you think about people who update every detail of their lives on Facebook? Sometimes I feel like people have lost all sense of what should be public and private. If you're someone who updates every detail, what's your reasoning?

i do not agree in updating every detail of your life in facebook. it makes your life dangerous. there might be some stalkers or kidnappers around. we can never say.

I think people who post every little detail are irritating. I don't want the front page of my Facebook filled with status notifications of "I'm going grocery shopping," or "I just got home from work." Same goes for people who are attached to their phones and have to text their friends about every little thing they do. It's redundant. I like it when people post interesting things that they're thinking about, or if they're doing something unusual, or even if they're having an especially good or bad day and want to share it. Things like that are a good way to stay connected with each other. I do try to keep a modicum of privacy on Facebook. I might post about what I'm doing or thinking, but I don't post intimate details. I also have edited my settings so that only the people I choose can see my information.

Hi, radenton11. Welcome to myLot! With me personally, I will just not exploit any of my personal and private information on any site, especially Facebook. I am not truly aware of everyone and there are some predators that are very hidden. I guess when people are that open they are desperate for love or friendship. Or maybe even both at the same time. I would not give out my personal details. The last thing that I need is a stalker in my life! People should not give out things that are personal and private to them. They are surely looking for trouble then.

Hi! radenton! I have been using face book for quiet sometime now, but I don't like uploading details about myself. In fact, I upload only two pics (for my profile avatar) eversince I joined facebook. I dont like exposing everything about myself there because of the unstable privacy. I use that site only to keep in touch with my old friends.. have a great day and happy lotting!

I don't update every detail. In fact I rarely if ever change my status on facebook. Those who do must really have no lives or must really be lony to the point they have to post everything on the web. Or, they don't realize how dangerous it could be.
