You Think You Know Everything About Me?

A good friend of mine wrote on her Facebook status, "Just because you've read my Facebook profile, you think you know everything about me? You've got a whole lot to learn, man... a whole lot." (and I love her for that) but come to think of it, you could learn quite a lot about someone from his/her Facebook profile and behavior. Not to mention their status updates. How frequent is it, and how personal? 

If a Facebook friend is explaining all her family activities and marital problems and romantic rants in her status, updated at least 3x a day, I would think twice or maybe five times before I share any of MY personal stories with her... let alone secrets! 

You can learn that your Facebook friend is 'still rather secretive somehow' (throwing hints and teasers but never reveals the whole truth), 'a total exhibitionist' (detailed summary of current marital problem, anyone?), 'a true social butterfly' (tagged in photos in the hippest and most happening spots in the city, almost every night), 'a manic questioner' (asking 'why' and 'what if' and is happy if people are commenting on them, would only be satisfied if there are at least 15 comments below the status update)... oh, you know the types. And I'm sure you'd log in to Facebook after this, observing and noticing your friends there :) 

All in all, it's a fun place to be and always a fun thing to do. And please do rant and rave and reveal all your life secrets there... it's always interesting to watch (and I can always ignore whatever I choose to ignore... that's the beauty of it :))
