like you said its a way to connect with family and friends.. Your assumptions about privacy differ from mine. I do want to share with family and friends but not the entire world, thats why my pictures and posts are hidden from everyone except them. One thing you have to realize, is that everything in the public is on the internet forever, all it takes is one mistake or slip of judgment to ruin something for you. People have lost jobs, or been rejected because of their lack of though into what is shared. Also do you really want people to judge you by the snippets of thoughts from Facebook. Its not only personal relationships but professional ones that are judging you. This is why I'm more private on Facebook rather than being shy.
