I'm not sure how privacy works online, or who sees what. Having said that, as a hacker I probably understand it better than most regular people. When I decide to put anything (anything) online, I keep two things in mind: 1) Anything I put up can be seen by anyone (not just the people I would prefer see it) 2) Anything I put up will be around forever and I can't unring that bell. With those points in mind, here are some of the things I haven't put online: -the company I work for -my home address (I think I've mentioned the city, I have mentioned the metro) -any pictures of my daughter (maybe she has slipped in the background of some) -religious affiliation and (for the most part) political views One the other hand, I've gone out of my publicize (here and on reddit) things I've written on technical and business topics. I want that stuff to be found, but I try to make sure it's something I wouldn't mind someone pulling out 10 or 20 years from now. My goal is that the worst thing that could happen to me based on what I publish online is that I'll be accused of being dumb or naive. I don't want my friendships or family to be affected by some web fad.
