Thanks Dave, your post perfectly summarizes a very problematic dilemma. Yes, this line will always be. Actually, drawing this line is the responsibility of “the online person”. When you give some kinds of special/private information about yourself, you cannot expect people to act as they do not know them. Therefore, you should decide which information can be shared. At this point, every person draws this line differently; thus, this difference clarifies “who you are”. However, as this line is very personal, sometimes parties’ lines do not overlap. That is the problem.

The answer I have come up with is to conduct much of my personal online life under a various pseudonoms.

That gives me some sort of control over what casual investigation will reveal about my personal online activities but I do realise that it cannot provide a complete separation.

I have had this disccussion many times about social media and persona/professional behavior. More importantly about the level of openness in general.

Please indulge my generalization, to all of them there are exceptions.

The interesting fact is that every generation is more open and shares more hopes, dreams, troubles, challenges in their 20′s than 30′s and less as they age. The social networks are no different, it is not a product of the social network, MYSpace is more open than Facebook, which shares more info than the next generation will. This is true because the people that use it have less life learned caution about what they share. Personality doesn’t change, being true to who you are doesn’t change, you just don’t share as much with as many without really knowing them as you age.

Many of the attributes assigned to social media are not new, it is just a different school quad, coffee shop, girls night out bar, where people of different ages socialize much as they always have.
