I agree it's creepy (just another great reason to continue not using Facebook), but I don't agree that it's creepy because people can see you in context. I think it's creepy because people see everything out of context. Those drunken photos, random pissed-off status update, smattering of professional news, and "Lost a loved one" updates followed by a photostream of your grandmother's funeral form a stilted caricature of your actual life and persona. That's why, when I want to share something significant, I do it in a form suitable for the purpose, hopefully in a way that is beneficial to the reader, and contributory to the internet, world, etc. if what I'm sharing is significant enough. Perhaps to wit, my memorialization of my grandfather, who I saw decline and pass away this year: http://cemerick.com/2011/04/05/opa/ http://cemerick.com/2011/04/05/opa/ That is all to say, if you want to control how you are represented, don't turn over your identity to a third party.
