The recent influx of online social networks has allowed something rather amazing regardless of which side of the fence you stand. It is either producing too much useless junk on the Internet, or it is being a collectively amazing new medium for people to connect and express themselves. These days we have Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, FriendFeed, Flickr, Smug Mug, and Wordpress, for example.
For me, though, my apparent attempt to live a transparent life provides me the luxury of a sort of guise, hiding what I do not want others to know. Yes, I am a dishonest man, but I never lie.
(It's similar to being the "honest" person where others would trust everything that is said or expressed. Lies have a lesser chance of being discovered this way.) Go figure...
