And what about privacy?
Is this another nail in the coffin of the very concept of privacy? In the future will we really share everything? Ultimately people will be the ones to decide what they want to share and with whom. But now it will be not only what happens on Facebook.com, but everything happening outside it too.
The above from We Are Social's longer synopsis of Facebook Open Graph.
What I'm interested in is the statement above on privacy. Particularly re: 'deciding.'
It illuminates the question: what is it exactly that you're 'deciding' upon when you "decide what to share and with whom"?
Rather, I should ask: what are the conditions within which you are deciding?
I'd imagine you'd be making a completely different decision between choosing to what to share within two different environments:
1) no one shares anything about themselves online (10 years pre-facebook)
2) everyone shares everything about themselves online (10 years post-facebook)
And ultimately that has little to do with the 'decision' itself, and much more to do with the conditions within which the decision is made.
Just something to consider as you decide ('decide'?) how this all makes you feel about 'privacy.'
