I know I am much more careful of what I post as time goes on because "once on the Internet, always on the Internet". I do think Facebook is a great place to connect with current, old, and future friends while sharing mostly useful content. :-) Thanks for the comment, Matt, and I’m totally with you.

But I definitely share less now that I know my content is subject to reclassification from private to public at any time, or shared on other sites without my prior consent. Not that I have anything to hide (I'm looking at you, Google CEO), but information that's suitable for friends may not be so suitable for, say, a job recruiter. (tirades against Sharepoint, sarcastic posts that may not read that way if you didn't know me, et al) If you strip away all the superfluous stuff, it's still a great way to reconnect and stay connected.
