>I may be unusual but I avoid Facebook precisely because I don't want that sort of attention directed at my brain farts and the ephemeral detritus of my everyday life. >When I make something worthwhile and of substance, that's different, but I won't be putting it on Facebook. I agree with your comment and I share your feeling, but I don't think this approach can/should be the norm. I find that attention-seeking is so fundamental to human nature, that most people have to spend a LOT of energy to suppress it and I don't know if it's worth the trouble (is it that detrimental ?) The only successful anonymous social media out there are used for trolling/venting/shocking/expressing extremely unpopular opinions - things that people absolutely don't want to take any credit for.
