Digital Exhibitionism

Ahh.. Facebook. Oh, how you've turned the world into a bunch of voyeurs and exhibitionists. Not only do people feel compelled to know the goings on of everyone else, but now everyone can do a little digital striptease themselves. If ever there were a worse way to say, "Look at me, world!" (maybe Twitter), then Facebook - you take the cake. With Facebook, you can now scream to the world all the minutia that once would have been relagated to conversations with your grandmother. Why not pick up the phone and actually "talk" to people?

Yes, I hear you screaming... "Then, don't use it."

True. But as with crime statistics, 80% of the ridiculousness is caused by 20% of users. What of the 80% of Facebook users who are not ego maniacal?
