Facebook users are an odd bunch. They'll bitch about privacy, turn their privacy settings up to max en masse, and form angry Facebook protest groups at every little change in the company's policy. Then they'll go and sign up to a bunch of spam applications written by people they don't know and give them unfettered access to their profil.
I'm with Zuckerberg on this one. I reckon the world could be a better place if everyone laid their cards on the table. I keep my profile as open as possible, following the rule that I don't post anything that I wouldn't be happy for anyone to see.
- psranga 17y agoSo basically you're using FB to build a public profile (i.e., your "brand")? IMHO, this is not the use case for most FB users. I use FB to talk semi-privately with my friends (my expectation is that FB be as private as unencrypted email, which it now isn't). I would use LinkedIn+Twitter to build a profile/brand.
- dtf 17y agoBrand? That makes it all sound rather soulless :-( It's just a personal page. I use to keep contact with friends and share photos and random musings, like twitter with a few extras. Unless you're being ultra-cynical, I don't think everyone on twitter is trying to build a brand. Some people just like to talk.
