We share everything about ourselves online. We post candid images, videos, audio files, political views, religious beliefs and gossip. We post permanent, up-to-the-minute intimate details we once held private.
Of course, this emerging bare-all Web culture is shifting how we define our own personal space. We now place greater value on being open about ourselves, since personal reputation is increasingly influenced by what others know about us online. And no one seems to mind. A 2007 Pew Internet & American Life Project study found that 60 percent of Web users aren’t concerned with how much information is available about them online. And only 4 percent had a bad experience because of embarrassing or inaccurate information posted about them online.
