Really? Myspace is gone? Huh...
This isn't really a criticism of Myspace or Facebook or whatever people use so much as me criticising the sharing of data I didn't tell a service to share, just automatically, as though I WANTED that.
As for knowing a "little something" about me. Well, I've shared enough over the years. Will knowing stuff about my real world relationships and how this one dude TOTALLY cut me off really enrich your life?

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
