Are social networking sites costing us our privacy?

[Daily.Bullsh]

If there is not an option to make the profile or parts of the profile private i do not participate in the site. I personally use myspace, and in order to gain access to my profile info or pics, they have to become my friend. in order to do that they have to know my e-mail address. and to know my e-mail address they have to have known me and chatted with me, or known me in real life. all i am saying is people can be more careful

Everyone do me a favor. go to http://www.google.com
type in any screen name you have ever used (one at a time) and see the results. find out what anyone can find out about you.

Type in your first and last name, and the state you live in and see what that brings you as well.

there is a tool out there also that when an e-mail address is entered, it will show who the owner of the e-mail address is (first and last name as well as location, if the info was entered on registration)
