Our entire world culture practically revolves around data. Anything posted online is processed by more prying eyes and machines than you will ever know. Your boss -even though an immediate concern- should be set as a miniscule model (or lesson) against a backdrop of all data upon every information server. Just as the government keeps a physical record of every “known” individual, the same applies in the electronic realm as well. The emphasis of every piece of information may or may not take precedence for acquisition depending on how you live your life. As far as your boss – well, you stuck your foot in your mouth not to mention comfort zone. Obviously, if you think some of the things you are doing may be questionable to another person, and feel the need to hide, why even do those things? Understandably, each person requires a certain amount of privacy. Besides, even if your boss did find out, why even worry about it? If perhaps you fear that you might lose your job due to a “what if”, then I would suggest re-evaluating the way you think about things. If the “fear” is relevant that something will happen due to the naive nature by which you live your life, then I would suggest you seek employment elsewhere. Your article also stated that you set up your boss’s profile. If I deduce this correctly, then what you’re saying is that you help your boss set up a profile at work (?). If you are working in a position that attends to sites related to “social networking” then I might find that action relevant, but why even entertain such pleasure pursuits in the work place is quite beyond me(though it’s not uncommon to find employees with computers doing everything else but working). If anything, I believe your article made its point clear – and you have learned your lesson.

So would you be willing to PAY for this? That is the question. The Web is designed as an open space. Would you be willing to pay to close a little bit of it off for yourself or your very close friends?

As more companies are using facebook to network, you may want to know that when you add a friend, you can hide your personal details from them by checking the 'limited profile' box. Be wary about adding details such as your birthday and home town as these can be used for identity fraud.
