I just wondering why some people post everything on what happenings on their life. Some of them post it in their blog, or post it in their social networking where everyone can read access their account. For me its not good to share everything online because this is for my security. How about you did you share everything or post everything online?

If you are familiar with the medical series House there is an episode there where a woman shares everything in her blog, even the things that only she and his husband should know. Her reasoning is that she wanted a digital diary where all of her life memories and experiences will be kept so she won't be unknown. Something like that. I think that's one of the reason of some people. But I think it will not be good to share everything. There are some things that are meant to be just for your self or your partner. But if they feel like sharing it then there is nothing we can do.

It's definitely not good to share everything online. This is "Internet" and you don't even get to see their faces, let alone know who they are... It's ok to share about you to the persons you really trust and also know in your real life but sharing personal information to strangers is something that is not very advisable. Also some may misuse one's information which, is happening almost every day and we hear about it a lot. The best thing is don't even reveal your real name to strangers on the Internet.

I don't like to post too much information online. I am an artist and I have an online gallery. I know that many other artists post their addresses and their phone numbers online, but I don't like to do that, and my email address is the only thing that people are able to find on my gallery. If I exchange emails with people who are interested in buying my art, I don't mind giving them my phone number, but I don't want that kind of information on my website. I don't like to post too much personal information on social networking sites either. One of my friends always writes in detail about her trips, (when she is leaving and when she is coming back and things like that), but I wouldn't feel comfortable sharing that kind of information.

I share a lot online, but I certainly don't post my personal information - like my exact address or phone number - or even my name!! On Facebook, I know everyone personally, so I don't mind that they know my business . . . but still I am careful not to display everything because of security reasons. On a site like myLot, I will go on about personal things, but I won't mention my exact location . . . I sure don't want to be found by some lunatic! I guess I'm saying I share a lot of my personal experiences - just not "information".

That's right that many people share almost everything online. May they don't really realize how many people (good and bad persons) may read all the information. As they only sit in front of the PC and write like for themselves, they might not be aware of that this information can be read by millions of people and, sometimes, it could have bad results for them. In my case, I write some of my experience, but not my whole biography and I would not post very personal details, points or experience of my life. So in that point, I agree with you.

Yes its good to write or share some experience but not the whole things about you. Thanks for posting.

You should not share everything, only the ones you are willing to ask other's opinion about, whether negative or positive. The world wide web is accessible to everyone, that is why it is called that way.

I don't thing its right to give all your information on net as I think that it is unsafe.I can't trust any site as I knew that nothing is impossible for any hacker or programmer.I also know something as we have to program so.I think use internet safely by checking properly the site in which you are entering your information.

Ya I share everything i need to know about the topics. It make you more clear..but i dont share my personal information to all..Anything can happen!! So,posting only what you need to know is good rather than giving all of your information and be hacked(LOL)

Many people seem to share so much information i often want to shout 'STOP!' or type it at least. i think the thing that makes people feel part of a community is that they find out information that makes them feel they know the person they are conversing with. It's easy to be lulled into a sense of security and recognition. In order to post a photo of a child you need a parental signature, but how often do we leave the 'public' status on our albums? I'd never post anything that surpasses my age (if i can't turn it off), my e-mail, and my counrty... yep i don't even publish where in that country i am. I've had a couple of things like my paypal hacked in the past, and i've more than one friend whose been caught out by facebook with the account being shut. making yourself a target seems daft to me.

I don't share everything online . I just don't want random strangers making judgments about me over the internet. Really? Why would people post everything... U have loved ones to do that with. Why choose the strangers? Is it the feeling of belonging that lures people to it? To feel like part of a big group of friends...

not really, depends on my mood. and most of all people posting things that's going on with their lives are those people who look for company and sympathy from other people.just a reminder, they should keep a little something on them to keep people interested .not a totally open book life.
