"Self-disclosure has been redefined online. In Web 2.0, it's led to blogs and Tweets, Facebook and instant messenger, each developed to help users share the inane minutiae of their lives with others. A life examined to the point that Socrates himself might say, 'Guys, that's enough.'" (9/9/08 WPost article on tracking tools)

Interesting...why people want to share their life with the general public? Is there a part of exhibitionist in all of us?
Although very tempting, I am afraid to check out those sites...can we do it together??
