Self Disclosure and Social Networking

When online, some people do not know the difference between sharing too much and sharing just enough. People think that by adding people to their page online that they know means that it is okay to say certain things. What many fail to realize is that they may know the people from the past, but have no clue about how they are living now. Just as we read in the article, the girl knew her friends from when she was younger, but people change and she had no clue about their lifestyles. I disclosure is very different face to face than online, because you never know what people like to say. I have always been a cautious person because things stay online, and a person can easily copy and paste a message, or repeat what you said to other people. I try to never disclose too much to people who I am not close to.
