I am not a Facebook user, largely because I don't feel I have any control over who sees what.
While I think the whole concept of "sharing" is awesome, I want to be able to selectively share. In my real life, I don't tell every person I know everything about my life. I pick and choose what I want people to know, because some people are more tolerant of certain things than others. My friends love my drunken antics, but my parents don't. I would like to show only my friends pictures of antics, but as I understand how Facebook works, that is impossible. ALL must be shared!
While the idea of a fully transparent life is a nice goal, it doesn't work in today's society. There is too much judgement, too much harsh reactionism. People today are just not tolerant enough for full transparency.
With that in mind, is there anything Facebook plans to do to allow me control over what people know about me? (Ex: Dave can see this photo, but Steve can't?)
