Just like fiction writers, memoir writers pick and choose what's best. Good point about FB friends. I think FB pages make it easier to connect, but not share every private moment with the "whole world."Stacy S.

When I decided that I needed an author blog last year, I started using my real name, but I still don't mention hubby or the kids' names. <br /><br />I do worry about the nuts that are out there, but not excessively so. I try to believe in the goodness of the general population. :}<br /><br />Thanks for a thought-provoking post, Stacy!Teresa Robesonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03848939225552527941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-788321265914678622.post-38091706687668187352013-02-02T05:46:31.678-07:002013-02-02T05:46:31.678-07:00As a personal blogger/memoir writer, it may seem t...As a personal blogger/memoir writer, it may seem to readers that I share a lot. But I'm particular about things I don't share. I'm rarely very specific about what's going in my life. I save that for personal interactions, phone calls, emails, in person visits. The one big thing I did: take my birthday off Facebook. The other: unfriend a bunch of people I didn't know. Yes, I actually accepted requests from strangers. But it was because in the beginning, I wasn't sure how to separate the personal and the professional (as most friend requests came from those who knew me as a TV reporter).

Now it's everywhere -it's definitely a hurdle or a tipping point for me (like ok, I'm going public). I found it an either-or situation, not how much one shares. Once it's out, it's out. I am concerned about privacy and give as little info as I can, but that "little" is actually a lot if compared to the amount of data I gave out 5 years ago.Sue Wanghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07667540824414879675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-788321265914678622.post-5502726787221699372013-01-31T16:36:04.517-07:002013-01-31T16:36:04.517-07:00All good things bear repeating.

Within the last year, I created a writing blog to further a writer's platform. It's been a learning experience in many ways--not the least of which has been privacy awareness issues. So thanks again.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15879185562299217756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-788321265914678622.post-62547348347736773112013-01-31T12:42:34.897-07:002013-01-31T12:42:34.897-07:00I didn't start FB until after I started bloggi...I didn't start FB until after I started blogging, so it was never a personal social media outlet for me. Although I'm sure I'm fooling myself with the little bit of privacy I think I'm maintaining. It's kind of unnerving.

We want to know something about, say, Stacy Jensen. So we type that into Google. Google gives us the information in exchange for that tidbit of data: "What are people seeking?"<br /><br />How all that stuff is aggregated or 'mined' is a huge resource that is being tapped in order to re-design the future interwebs. :-)Cathy Mealeyhttp://bildebok.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-788321265914678622.post-4083672521787698862013-01-31T03:47:37.465-07:002013-01-31T03:47:37.465-07:00I got a scary email from Facebook about pictures b...I got a scary email from Facebook about pictures being passed on.

My private facebook page has more personal information, but I also know how I connected with each of the people on my friends list.
