I find it really ironic that I have seen news organizations talking about the Facebook notes such as “25 Things” when these types of bulletins have been around on MySpace since, well… since pretty much you could post a bulletin and have not drawn any attention.

I find that the potential danger in the Facebook note postings are that in the instructions, you are told to tag some friends.  That means that they receive a notice (whether it be in the form of email or just a notification on the site) that they have been “tagged” or “talked about” in the note.

This can definitely leave some of those who have either been tagged or just those who see the activity that you have the new note stumbling across some information that they have not necessarily been made aware of.  It can also lead to an opinion, which was otherwise unknown, be divulged.

And boy, when it happens, you’re not sure whether to keep it in or strike out.  Some responses regarding the postings others have posted have been:

Wow, how can somebody be that self absorved and conceited?

The whole world really doesn’t revolve around you!

Way to take other people’s generosity for granted and turn it into a bitch slap!

Keep on tagging Facebookers!
