It was interesting, but I feel the age boundary around me, and I'm not sure I want to breach it. I want to do the careful reaching out to people whose conversation and interests I am drawn to -- I don't think I could handle 3,000 friends. I think I like having a community of 100 or so writers, etc., that I have "met" through Yahoo/Gmail lists and Live journal, but I went to the trouble of friends-locking anything I wouldn't want a stranger to overhear. And if I REALLY want it private, I won't post on it at all.

Perhaps the HR groups of the future won't decide that people who talk all the time about their life probably can't keep work secrets. Or maybe entering the job market (for all but the few who actually become the next designers, etc.) will cause many of these kids to become silent -- or to delete their past.

It does make me think that technology is moving faster than I can keep up, because I have things that must be done, and only so much Internet time....
