Good point @Xichekolas: We don't editorializing our own life and are not aware what information we give away to whom anymore. In the old old days, people didn't knew your last name untill someone else introduced you. Now people don't even bother to know your last name. They rather have your nickname or e-mailaddress (or fb profile).
We have no control on what kind of information lands where. Be it your SSN or where you last went on vacation. And we certainly don't know with what purpose the other party gains that information. For me, I don't care about pageviews, hits or anything that projects me as being popular or noticed. I want to know the party who is receiving information about me and the purpose of what is going to happen with that information. If I show people a slideshow of family photos I certainly know they don't get a copy unless I provide it to them. In the digital era it is quite different. Sharing is nice only if you can measure what it will deliver back to you. For now, only bad things can happen if you give up your privacy.
