"TMI" people

Probably followed that up by sending him a copy of his obituary.

 

I would have clicked "like" and taken a screen grab.

 

Someone snatch this up for a sig. Now.

Done.

 

Oh, like anyone didn't know that.

Can someone take a look at this rash for me?

 

Very, very interesting observation.

Same woman walks around the office blabbing on her cell phone when she walks in every morning, not caring who hears every word of her private conversations. I'm not on Facebook, but I imagine she's the type who posts every time she eats a donut or takes the dog for a walk or gets drunk Friday night.

I wonder if there will ever be a massive backlash. Not the kind of mini-backlash against Facebook that happened in which people were frustrated about the privacy controls. But I mean privacy gaining some currency even among friends and acquintances. Or at the very least, people starting to come to the realization, en masse, that the mundane details of their life aren't as interesting to others as they think they are.

I don't mind posting here, in anonymity. But I have no interest in living that open of a life as others do these days, both online and around the office - and, for those "lucky" enough - on reality television. It'll be interesting to see which way the pendulum swings this decade. I hope it swings back toward privacy. I liked it better when I didn't know everything about everyone.

 

This story here got me thinking about that sort of thing this week:
