Almost one year after my first post on Facebook, I'm still amazed at how FB has changed my life. When I run into friends and former co-workers now, everyone already knows (sometimes in great detail) what I'm up to. What job I'm at (my profile), what I've been doing on weekends (photos), who I socialize with (wall postings) and the weird fascination I have with mannaquins. I'm still amazed that our previous constructs of privacy are falling away before our eyes - but again what I find more interesting is that it's not "big brother" doing it to us, the way the many futurists saw the 21st century. We're doing it to ourselves. Or at least I sure am.
