However, with Facebook opening up to Google, and People search engines coming into the picture (http://www.wildblueskies.com/2007/08/26/no-more-deperately-seeking-susan-people-search-made-easy/), its is debatable how much of control we ourselves have over the parts of our lives that we put online.
From a career standpoint, I would like to limit it to say, pertinent forums on specific social networking websites, my own blog, etc., but are we in control over all parts of our lives that go online?

While it’s true that ‘bad’ behavior can cause problems in the future, when that future is made up of the Naked Generation, will it even matter?

There is a shortage of qualified workers in many fields already and the population is headed for a slowdown as the boomers retire. Money will ultimately trump a video of college drinking.

I blog about my life and now that my first novel is being published next month, everyone will know my real name. Doesn’t bother me. I need to be visible in order to sell my book so that I can retire and write more. :)

One is about full disclosure on the net and the other is well about getting naked. I would reckon that most people fall into the camp, of “who could possibly see me that I might know”?.

Guess what. It’s why second life has taken off. people go online to be something other than who they are, and that could extend to, getting naked to get ahead…

The reader also has the responsibility of applying a context to what they are reading/looking at.

A friend of mine has recently started University and on the first day was warned about broadcasting their behavior online as this could affect future jobs. This kind of phishing for personal information is becoming standard HR practice.

While people’s attitudes to privacy change, so should the context that HR departments and managers view the employees (or potential employees) they’re keeping tabs on.

It’s great to read the discussions about nakedness. Our company is called Naked for that very reason. I personally believe it’s a great thing to open up. But as Hak says, if you wouldn’t say it in front of an audience, you should consider who you want to say it to. Maybe this consideration is something that becomes more natural in maturity.

I’d be very interested to hear your views on our Open Messaging concept, designed to deal with the problem of being intimate and open online without the fear of reproach. There’s a PDF about it at http://www.nakedyak.com/getnaked/open-messaging.pdf

Openness, as well as carrying on our personal relationships offline, is something that is growing. The tools will grow as we do. It’s a shame that some people are losing out because they opened their doors. It really is. Hopefully it won’t carry on for much longer.
