I did one, some people don't. Doesn't bother me much either way. But you're right - I'm not sure what goes through the heads of the people that criticize those who do. I suspect a lot of it has to do with our struggle of work/life balance and trying to keep your work peers/friends at a little bit of a distance - telling your boss that you once had a crush on a girl named Ginger doesn't necessarily get you a promotion. Underlying reason they don't post is fear and uncertainly. And that's OK. They just aren't cool enough to "get it" yet :^) Great point Dave. I did one, some people don’t.

AND I totally agree re: FB privacy.
1: Don’t assume you have any privacy by default
