Facebook is creepy. We are constantly finding out too much information about people via facebook. I don't want to know about potty training your kids, or the fact that you puked 6 times today. Yes, if I'm looking for you, really looking for you I'm happy that your status has told me you'll be at the doctors at 11:00 am, and that then you have to pick up your brother at 1 pm.

Yes, arguably, Facebook is convenient for keeping up with those far away from you, or finding out a homework assignment you've forgotten to write down. Seriously though, there is sometimes just way too much information given via facebook. I understand the shift of going from private to personal, which is sort of the idea of facebook, but just how personal do we want to get?
